D mart’s Stock
DMart’s share price has recently taken a significant hit, falling by nearly 9% following the release of its Q2 results for FY2025. Despite reporting an 8% year-on-year increase in profits and a 14% jump in revenue, the market’s expectations were not met. Analysts were particularly concerned with the company’s slower store growth and rising competition from online grocery platforms, such as quick commerce, which has been affecting its performance, especially in metropolitan areas.
Several brokerage firms downgraded DMart’s stock. For example, JPMorgan revised its rating from “Overweight” to “Neutral,” setting a target price of ₹4,700, while Morgan Stanley issued a more pessimistic target of ₹3,702. This drop in confidence is driven by concerns over DMart’s higher operational costs and weaker growth in its older stores. Additionally, DMart’s own online grocery service, DMart Ready, has seen slower growth, adding to investor concerns
For investors, it might be a good idea to watch closely how DMart addresses these challenges in the coming quarters. If the company can navigate through these headwinds and stay competitive in the online grocery space, it might recover some ground.
