Stock is testing a cup-and-handle breakout as the Q1 results loom. The analyst flags valuation concerns and a sharp drop in promoter holding.
Vishal Mega Mart shares have been in a downtrend, losing nearly 5% in the past five sessions. Investors will be watching for its June quarter (Q1 FY26) earnings print later today.
On its technical charts, the stock has seen a cup and handle breakout pattern. Will this fuel the next rally, or will earnings trigger a twist? SEBI-registered analyst Rohit Mehta weighs in.
Key Levels To Watch
Mehta identified support between ₹124–₹128, with resistance at ₹128 for Vishal Mega Mart.
Analyzing its shareholding pattern, promoters have pared their stake from 74.55% in March to 54.22% in June 2025. Meanwhile, Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) holding increased from 7.03% to 12.85%. On the other hand, Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) holding increased from 12.22% to 27.31%
In its previous quarter, Vishal Mega Mart saw its sales rise by 23.15% year-on-year (YoY), while profit rose by 42.23%.
Mehta highlighted that the company has delivered a strong profit growth of 72.9% CAGR over the past 5 years.
However, the stock trades at 10.1 times its book value. The company has posted a low average return-on-equity of 8.53% over the past 3 years.
Mehta cautioned that despite consistent profits, the company has not declared any dividends. And he also flagged the 20.3% dip in promoter holding in the last quarter as an area of concern.
