DMart's parent company, Avenue Supermarts Ltd, saw its shares decline 1.63% after reporting Q1FY26 earnings below expectations.
In the first quarter of FY26, Avenue Supermarts witnessed a 16.3% increase in consolidated revenue but missed estimated Ebitda and net profit figures.
Despite opening nine new stores in the quarter, DMart's profitability was impacted by margin pressures in the competitive retail landscape.
The muted bottom-line performance has raised concerns among investors about margin pressures, even though the company continues to see growth in its total store count and revenue.
