Avenue Supermarts Ltd shares, operating at DMart stores, opened higher on Monday at ₹4,450 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE)and rose to an intraday high of ₹4,518.10. This after the company reported stronger-than-expected revenue for the March quarter.

At 10:40 am, Avenue Supermarts Ltd shares were trading at ₹4,410.30 a piece on the NSE, up by 1.10%.

Robust Q4 Earnings

The stock reaction followed a business update filed on 3 April. During Q4 FY26:

• The company’s standalone revenue from operations rose 19% year-on-year to ₹17,204.50 crore.

• It is an 18.9% year-on-year (YoY) increase from ₹14,462.39 crore in Q4 FY25.

Expansion Gains Pace

Store expansion picked up sharply during the quarter. The company added 58 stores in Q4FY26, its highest ever in a single quarter. This took the total additions for the full FY26 to 85 stores, also a record.

The total store count reached 500 as of 31 March 2026. This milestone reflects a faster rollout compared to earlier years.

The step-up in Q4FY26 comes after a slower growth phase in the previous quarter. The acceleration in revenue, along with faster store additions, appears to have supported investor sentiment in early trade.
