Avenue Supermarts reported Q2FY27 consolidated revenue of ₹19,644.01 crore for the quarter ended 30 September 2026, up 17.8% year on year, while net profit rose 8.46% to ₹742.98 crore, Univest reported on 10 Oct 2026. Operating profit stood at ₹1,392.96 crore. IndiaIPO reported the consolidated profit at ₹743.5 crore and EBITDA at ₹1,394 crore, reflecting a small difference in reported or rounded figures.
The result showed that sales growth remained stronger than earnings growth. Consolidated EBITDA margin narrowed to 7% from 7.3% a year earlier, according to IndiaIPO, despite revenue increasing from ₹16,676 crore. On a standalone basis, net profit rose 7.6% to ₹803.5 crore from ₹746.5 crore, while revenue increased 18.4% to ₹19,206 crore. Standalone EBITDA grew 14% to ₹1,403 crore, but its margin declined to 7% from 7.6%. The figures keep operating costs and margin conversion at the centre of the organised retail 🛒 earnings read-through.
OI Charts data for 09 Oct 2026 showed the shares closing at ₹3,517, down 1.9% on the day, with volume of 490,650. The stock touched a 52-week low of ₹3,498 and fell 7.8% over five sessions and 5.8% over 20 sessions. Futures open interest increased 2.6% to 4,969,800 as the price declined, indicating a short build-up. 📉
The 27 Oct 2026 options structure had a put-call ratio of 0.57 and max pain at ₹3,600. The largest put open interest was at ₹3,500, while the largest call open interest was at ₹3,800. The ₹3,500 area is therefore the immediate positioning reference, while ₹3,800 marks heavier call-side supply. Investors will watch the detailed quarterly filing for explanations of the margin contraction, operating-cost trends and any stabilisation near the 52-week low.
The update follows the earlier revenue report and adds the consolidated earnings detail needed to assess whether continued sales expansion is converting into profit growth. Consolidated profit ₹742.98 cr and the 7% margin remain the key earnings markers.
