DMart Stabilizing, ITC Preferred Over Trent: Nuvama's Abneesh Roy
- •Abneesh Roy of Nuvama Institutional Equities believes DMart stock is nearing a bottom after a sharp correction, with Q3FY26 results showing margin improvement.
- •Gross and EBITDA margins improved by approximately 50 basis points, a positive surprise after prolonged pressure on profitability.
- •DMart Ready's growth is tracking near 20%, and store expansion is on course, with 28 new stores added in 9 months and 60 expected for the full year.
- •Sustainability of margin improvement is crucial for DMart, as past quarters suggest a potential bottoming out, but consistency is key for investor confidence.
- •Roy prefers ITC over Trent due to attractive valuations, a 5% dividend yield, and expected price hikes, despite ongoing FII selling.
