The numbers are in. According to the exchange filing dated October 3, Avenue Supermarts posted standalone revenue of ₹19,206.18 crore for the second quarter. That is a sharp 18.41% jump from the ₹16,218.79 crore recorded in the same period last year. The growth rate signals continued demand strength in the value retail segment, even as macro headwinds weigh on discretionary spending.
Expansion remains the engine. The company disclosed that its total store count reached 518 as of September 30, 2026. This incremental growth supports the revenue trajectory, suggesting that both same-store sales and new unit contributions are driving the top-line expansion.
Looking back at the first quarter, the trend holds. Avenue Supermarts reported a net profit of ₹860.6 crore in Q1, up 11.3% from ₹773 crore in prior year. Revenue for that quarter stood at ₹18,794 crore, a 14.9% rise. Operational efficiency nudged upward slightly, with margins improving to 7.97% from 7.94%. EBITDA climbed to ₹1,499 crore, well ahead of ₹1,299 crore in the previous fiscal year.
On the trading floor, sentiment is mixed. Avenue Supermarts shares closed marginally in the green on Thursday, opening at ₹3,809.80 against a previous close of ₹3,801.40. The stock touched an intraday high of ₹3,880.00 and a low of ₹3,781.40. Over the past 30 days, the stock has gained 1.78%, or ₹67.00.
However, the broader picture shows valuation compression. The stock trades 17.53% below its 52-week high of ₹4,644.00, though it sits 8.53% above the 52-week low of ₹3,529.00. With four of the last ten sessions closing in the green, traders are watching closely for the full Q2 earnings release to see if the revenue acceleration translates into bottom-line surprises.
