The numbers
Figures from The Hindu BusinessLine,
| Quarter-on-quarter revenue growth: | 4.7 per cent |
|---|---|
| Q2 revenue a year ago: | ₹16,218.79 crore |
| June quarter revenue: | ₹18,343.49 |
Why it matters to operators and investors
With 518 stores and double-digit growth, D-Mart is the benchmark for value-grocery valuation comps and the standard any acquisition or partnership target will be measured against, and the Sanpada reconstruction shows it is also redeveloping existing sites, not only adding new ones.
What to watch next
- Avenue Supermarts' full Q2 results showing operating margin and profit against the revenue growth
- The next quarterly update showing revenue above ₹19,206 crore
- Any store count above 518 at the next reporting date
- Reopening of the Sanpada store after reconstruction
- Year-on-year growth falling below or holding at 18.4%
Likely next moves
Our read of what comes next — analysis, not reported by the source.
- Avenue Supermarts is likely to keep adding stores beyond the 518 reported at September 30, and to keep the Sanpada store's reconstruction within its store count.
- Expect Avenue Supermarts to publish fuller results, with margins and profit, that show whether the 18.4% revenue growth carried through to earnings.
- Brokerages and analysts will probably benchmark the 4.7% sequential gain against expectations and adjust their store-rollout and growth estimates accordingly.
- Rival value and omnichannel grocers may defend share near D-Mart catchments with promotions, since D-Mart's growth is pulling volume toward its stores.
- Customers are likely to keep favouring D-Mart's value pricing, which supports repeat footfall in the festive quarter.
