    • The company has reported an EBITDA of Rs 1,299.04 crore in Q1 FY26, marking a 6.4% YoY increase and a strong 36% QoQ growth from Rs 955.07 crore in Q4 FY25, indicating improved operational efficiency and cost management.

    • Avenue Supermarts Ltd reported a Profit After Tax of Rs 772.81 crore for Q1 FY26, reflecting a marginal YoY basis decline of 0.1% compared to Rs 773.68 crore in Q1 FY25. However, on a QoQ basis, PAT registered a strong growth of 40% from Rs 550.79 crore in Q4 FY25.
    • 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 added 9 new stores during the quarter, bringing the total store count to 424 as of June 30, 2025. This expansion reflects Avenue Supermarts Ltd’s continued focus on strengthening its retail footprint and enhancing accessibility across its key operating regions.

    Management Commentary:

    • Avenue Supermarts reported a 16.2% year-on-year growth in revenue for Q1 FY26, while PAT grew modestly by 2.1%. Comparable store sales (stores older than two years) grew by 7.1%. However, revenue growth was slightly impacted (by 100–150 basis points) due to significant deflation in staples and non-food categories.
    • Gross margins declined compared to the same period last year, mainly due to intense competition in the FMCG segment. Additionally, operating costs increased as the company invested in service improvements, capacity expansion, and faced inflationary pressure on entry-level wages.

    Outlook:

    D-Mart reported healthy revenue growth in Q1 FY26 on both YoY and QoQ bases; however, both topline and bottom line missed market expectations. PAT declined marginally YoY, while revenue growth was impacted by significant deflation in staples and non-food categories. Gross margins were under pressure due to intensified competition in the FMCG segment. Despite these challenges, the company continued its expansion strategy by opening new stores during the quarter. D-Mart operates on the Everyday Low Cost – Everyday Low Price (EDLC-EDLP) model, focusing on procuring goods at competitive prices and leveraging operational efficiencies to offer consistent value to customers. The company reported a EPS of Rs 11.85 in Q1FY26 and TTM EPS of Rs 41.60 and currently trades at a TTM P/E of 96.63x and P/B of 12.20x.
