Dmart Share Price Target; Should You Buy?
In their most recent analysis, published on September 30, Amnish Aggarwal and Anushka Chhajed of Prabhudas Lilladher stated, “We are raising our EPS projections (2.8%/4.2% for FY23/24 and introduce FY25 EPS estimate) and our DCF based target price to Rs 5120” (Rs4636 earlier). We predict that throughput in shops opened during covid will benefit D’Mart greatly in FY23. In spite of the present high inflation rate, we are still sure that the company’s “Everyday Low Prices” (EDLP) approach would boost sales and draw middle-class consumers away from unorganised retail. We anticipate continuous growth in the upcoming years thanks to the management’s effective execution skills and a robust balance sheet.
Analysts are also optimistic about DMartReady as operations expand to 12 new cities, pick-up sites rise to 519, and revenues more than double in FY22 (from Rs1.4 billion in FY19 to Rs16.6 billion in FY22). According to their analysis, “Management seems more confident in the format’s capacity to scale; we anticipate revenues of Rs. 54 billion and EBIDTA breakeven in FY25.”
Additionally, the research from the experts predicted that “D’Mart will have considerable growth in the zero covid limitations environment.” Given the low likelihood of further competition in contemporary trade, the 1500+ store potential in existing clusters (actual stores: 294), and the progressive scale up in D’Mart Ready, we think D’Mart has a very long growth runway ahead of it.
The study on valuation stated, “We expect 42% PAT CAGR over FY22-25 and hold BUY with hike in DCF based target price to Rs 5118 (Rs4636 before).”
With a net profit of 680 crore in the first quarter of FY23 compared to ₹115 crore in the equivalent period of FY22, DMart’s standalone net profit climbed significantly.

In Q1 of FY23, total revenue was Rs. 9,807 crore, up from Rs. 5,032 crore in Q1 of FY22. ₹EBITDA increased from ₹221 crore in the same quarter of the previous year to ₹1,008 crore in Q1FY23.
