Vishal Mega Mart Reports Q2 Profit Growth Amid Margin Pressure and Festive Shift
Vishal Mega Mart reported a 3.7% year-on-year rise in Q2 FY27 profit after tax to Rs 157.9 crore, with revenue increasing 14% to Rs 3,398.5 crore. Despite growth, EBITDA margins contracted due to a shift in festive buying from Q2 to Q3, impacting operating leverage. Same-store sales growth was 7.7%, adjusting to about 9.5% after festive timing. The company expanded its store network to 844 stores across 582 cities by September 2026. Shares declined following results below market expectations.
