DMart: Eyes on margin, new CEO

Investors were thrilled when the company, which runs the DMart supermarket chain, said earlier this month that its December quarter (Q3FY25) standalone year-on-year revenue growth came in at 17.5%. The better-than-expected show meant Avenue's shares closed almost 12% higher on 3 January.

However, the optimism was short-lived due to subdued broader markets and worries about how the margin would pan out. Margin fears came true. Q3 results revealed Avenue's operating margin fell at a sharper-than-expected pace. Avenue's shares dropped by around 5% on Monday to ₹3,507.45 apiece, below the levels seen on 2 January. The company's Ebitda margin contracted 53 basis points (bps) year-on-year to 7.9% in the quarter.
