Is DMart’s margin spike durable?
Mint Mumbai
|January 13, 2026
Good and bad Avenue Supermarts’ revenue growth moderated further in Q3FY26, but Ebitda margin rose to a multi-quarter high.
Margins stole the limelight at Avenue Supermarts Ltd on Saturday, when the retailer announced its earnings for the December quarter (Q3FY26).
The company that owns and operates the DMart supermarket chain saw a 47 basis points (bps) year-on-year increase in its Q3 standalone Ebitda margin to 8.4%—a multi-quarter high. This is the first year-on-year increase after it had dropped for six straight quarters.
The margin expansion can be attributed to the 50 bps rise in gross margin to 14.5% and a slower growth in other operating expenses. Also, there may have been some benefit due to lower discounting after the cuts in goods and services tax rates.
Some analysts have raised their earnings estimates. But investors aren't too thrilled, with the stock rising just 0.8% on Monday.
