Shares of Avenue Supermarts Ltd. declined on Wednesday after Citi Research forecast a weak third quarter due to slow store growth in smaller towns.
The brokerage maintained a 'sell' rating on the DMart operator, with a target price of Rs 3,100 per share.
The company's revenue per square feet remains impacted by inferior product mixes and new store additions in smaller towns, according to Citi Research. It remains cautious about the current valuation, given the risks around store additions.
