Antique Stock Broking sees DMart’s revenue growing by 18% year-on-year, driven by higher inflation and store expansion.
“On a five-year CAGR basis (pre-Covid-19 levels), revenue is expected to grow at 19%. We expect a marginal improvement in the sale of general merchandise as consumer sentiment improves. We expect DMart’s EBITDA margin to improve marginally over last year’s level due to operating leverage,” the brokerage said.
Kotak Equities, on the other hand, is pricing in a consolidated revenue growth of 18.8% year-on-year in 1QFY25 (company update indicated 18.4% year-on-year standalone revenue growth) driven by addition of six stores and single-digit SSSG.
