Avenue Supermarts reported Q2FY27 EBITDA of ₹1,403 crore, a 14% rise YoY, even as its EBITDA margin contracted 0.28% YoY to 7.30%.

The margin decline came despite the double-digit growth in absolute EBITDA, signalling that revenue expansion outpaced profitability gains during the quarter. The results fell short of analyst expectations, prompting brokerages to revise their earnings estimates downward for FY27 and FY28.

Key financial metrics

The table below summarises the headline performance figures reported for Q2FY27.

Analyst response and earnings revisions

Following the quarterly print, analysts lowered their FY27 and FY28 earnings projections for Avenue Supermarts after the company missed expectations. The downward revisions reflect concerns over the margin trajectory, with the 0.28% YoY contraction in EBITDA margin drawing particular attention from the analyst community.

Store expansion outlook

Store expansion is expected to pick up pace in the second half of FY27. An acceleration in network additions during H2FY27 could support topline growth in subsequent periods, though the pace and scale of expansion remain subject to execution.

Trade signal details

The following table summarises the key parameters of the flagged activity:

The signal reflects a cluster of trades in Avenue Supermarts shares printed within a short window at or near ₹3596.00, flagged by a real-time trade-scanning system for size and speed. No buyer, seller, broker, or client identity is known at this stage, as such disclosures are made only by the exchange after market close.

This activity has not been confirmed or reported by the exchange. Official large-trade classifications are determined separately, based on regulatory criteria applied after trading hours.

What this is, and isn't: this reflects trade-level activity — a cluster of trades in the stock above, printed within a short window at or near the quoted price, for a combined value as stated. It is generated by our real-time trade-scanning system and is not, by itself, evidence of a block or bulk deal.

A block deal has to be executed in the exchange's dedicated window (8:45–9:00am or 2:05–2:20pm), within a set price band, and above the current minimum order size (₹25 crore). A bulk deal is when one client's total trading in a stock crosses 0.5% of its equity in a single day — confirmed only once every trade that client made is added up.

Both are published by NSE/BSE after trading hours end, typically after 3:30pm — never before. If this trade qualifies as either, it will appear in the exchange's own report later today, not here first.
