V2 Retail Shares Drop 19-20% After Q2 Revenue Rise and Seasonal Shift Impact
V2 Retail's shares fell around 19-20% following its Q2 FY27 business update, despite a 28.4% year-on-year revenue increase to Rs 905 crore driven by store expansion. Same-store sales growth was 0.5% on a festival-normalised basis but declined 14.9% on a calendar basis due to the shift of Navratri and Durga Puja festivals from Q2 last year to Q3 this year. The company highlighted ongoing store ramp-up and expects stronger demand in Q3, focusing expansion in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets.
