In the post result note, Anand Rathi noted that while short-term macro headwinds such as festive timing shifts, a mild winter, and localized disruptions may impact Vishal Mega Mart’s quarterly performance, the underlying demand for value-led retail remains robust.  

The company continues to benefit from steady market share gains from unorganised players, supported by its compelling “aspirational yet affordable” value proposition. With a structurally strong 10 per cent same-store sales growth (SSG) profile, disciplined annual store additions of 80–100 outlets, and ongoing premiumisation initiatives, Vishal is well positioned to sustain 19–20 per cent growth with stable margins as macro conditions gradually improve.

Technical view 

"The stock has slipped below its major EMAs (20/50/100/200), confirming a continuation of the prevailing downtrend after the block deal–led breakdown. Price is now trading around ₹118–119, with all key moving averages clustered overhead near ₹124–130, creating a strong supply zone. RSI is in the mid-40s, indicating weak momentum without being deeply oversold, so further downside remains possible," said Drumil Vithlani, technical analyst, Bonanza.

 

He added: Immediate support is seen near ₹115; a sustained break below this could open ₹110 and ₹104 levels. On the upside, any pullback toward ₹125–128 is likely to face resistance unless accompanied by strong volumes. Bias remains negative below ₹130, with recovery prospects only on a decisive close above ₹132.
