Avenue Supermarts (Dmart) declined 2.76% to Rs 3,955.25 after the company's consolidated net profit fell 0.11% to Rs 772.97 crore despite a 16.28% jump in revenue from operations to Rs 16,359.70 crore in Q1 FY26 over Q1 FY25. Profit before tax (PBT) rose 0.32% YoY to Rs 1,057.47 crore in Q1 June 2025. Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) in Q1FY26 stood at Rs 1,299 crore, registering the growth of 6.39% compared to Rs 1,221 crore recorded in the corresponding quarter of last year. EBITDA margin stood at 7.9% in Q1FY26 as compared to 8.7% in Q1FY25. D-Mart follows Everyday low cost - Everyday low price (EDLC-EDLP) strategy which aims at procuring goods at competitive prices, using operational and distribution efficiency and thereby delivering value for money to customers by selling at competitive prices. The company opened 9 stores during the quarter. Its total store stands at 424 as on 30th June 2025. On standalone basis, the company's net profit increased 2.1% to Rs 829.73 crore on 16.2% jump in revenue from operations to Rs 15,932.12 crore in Q1 June 2025 over Q1 June 2024. Neville Noronha, CEO & managing director, Avenue Supermarts, said: Our revenue in Q1 FY26 grew by 16.2% over the previous year. Profit after tax (PAT) grew by 2.1% over the previous year. Two years and older DMart stores grew by 7.1% during Q1 FY26 as compared to Q1 FY25. Revenue growth impact of approximately 100-150 bps was primarily due to high deflation in many staples and non-food products. Gross margins are lower as compared to the same period in the previous year, due to continued competitive intensity within the FMCG space. Operating costs are higher due to our efforts on improving service levels, capacity building and inflation at entry level wages. Avenue Supermarts is a Mumbai-based company, which owns and operates D-Mart stores. D-Mart is a national supermarket chain that offers customers a range of home and personal products under one roof.

DMart shares in focus after Q1 results. Should you buy, sell or hold?
Shares of Avenue Supermarts , which operates the DMart retail chain, will be in focus on Monday after the company reported a 2% year-on-year (YoY) rise in standalone net profit at Rs 830 crore for the first quarter of FY26, compared to Rs 812 crore in the year-ago period. Revenue from operations rose 16% YoY to Rs 15,932 crore. During the quarter, the company opened nine new stores, taking its total count to 424 as of June-end. The company said revenue growth remained strong, but margin and cost pressures persisted. One of the key factors was high deflation in staple food and non-food items, which impacted sales growth by about 100–150 basis points. The highly competitive FMCG segment also weighed on margins. Standalone EBITDA came in at Rs 1,313 crore, up from Rs 1,221 crore in the same quarter last year. However, EBITDA margin dropped to 8.2% from 8.9% a year ago. On a consolidated basis, EBITDA stood at Rs 1,299 crore with a margin of 7.9%, down from 8.7% in Q1FY25. CEO and MD Neville Noronha said older stores (two years and above) recorded 7.1% growth in the quarter. Operating costs rose due to increased investments in service levels, capacity building, and inflation in entry-level wages. Gross margin also declined year-on-year due to continued pricing pressure in the FMCG segment. Should you buy, sell, or hold DMart shares? Here's what analysts say Nuvama Nuvama has maintained a Hold rating on Avenue Supermarts with a revised target price of Rs 4,086. The brokerage expects margin pressures to persist due to competitive intensity and has cut its FY26E and FY27E PAT estimates by around 6% and 8%, respectively. With a roll-forward to Q1FY28 PAT, the target has been revised downward from Rs 4,273 to Rs 4,086. Motilal Oswal (MOSL) Motilal Oswal has maintained a Buy rating with a target price of Rs 4,500. It noted that Q1FY26 EBITDA grew just 8% YoY—5% below estimates—due to a 25 basis point decline in gross margins and a 9% YoY increase in retail costs per square foot. Revenue rose 16% YoY, largely driven by 14% store expansion, though like-for-like growth slowed to 7.1% amid deflation. The company added nine stores during the quarter, up from six a year ago. MOSL also highlighted that elevated operating costs stem from efforts to improve service levels, build capacity, and manage wage inflation. Rising competition from quick commerce players could pressure near-term growth and margins, but strong store-level economics are expected to support long-term competitiveness. The brokerage cut its FY26–28E EBITDA estimates by 2–3% and EPS by 5–6% due to rising costs and higher finance expenses. It expects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18% in revenue, 17% in EBITDA, and 15% in PAT over FY25–28.
