Stock specific angle for Dmart's success


First of all, I would congratulate you all for taking first step by coming to this blog to check my analysis of Avenues Supermart, i.e Dmart.

 For somewhat experienced people; you can directly go to the bottom of the page to read the finer points responsible for Dmart's success; and for newbies you can go through the introduction.

 What is Dmart?

Dmart is the brand name of supermarket chain Avenue Supermart: founded by Radhakishan Damani Ji. Dmart with ts 140 branches has its presence in Maharashtra, Gujarat, AP, Telangana, Karnataka, MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, NCR, Tamil Nadu, Daman-Diu & Punjab.

 It is one of the largest & most profitable supermarket chain in India.

 Now coming straight to stock specific angle - The floor price for Dmart IPO was Rs. 295-299, and it it got listed on 21st March 2017 with massive gain of Rs. 349.5 (awesome 117% - just in 11 days); and as of dt 8/12/2017 stock is trading at 1130.

 Why such a humongous success with a massive returns of 831/stock just in 265 days???? 

 Those who are tracking the stock or have heard about the stock know that: Dmart is based on the model of Wallmart Inc. of USA. But apart from that, I am going to list down points which have contributed massively in the success of Dmart - to be precise Avenue Supermart's stock.

*** Below points are not in specific order ***

- Brand of Promoters - their business acumen is idolized

- Vendor payment in 10 working days: This is the major reason for minimum 5% discount on every item

- Direct purchase from manufacturers & primary vendors

- Owned Real Estate: 85% Self, 15% on Long Term Lease of 30 years. Stats as per 131 stores

- No central logistics vendor - vendors are local

- 40% sourcing is central

- Variable employee model - 70% staff on daily/weekly wages

- Food items account for 54% of revenue, merchandise & apparel account for 26% revenue & FMCG give 20% of revenue.

- States where Dmart is present account for 55% of total retail spend

- Input or Appraisal Rating Metric's is very different for its managers - it totally depends on pilferage, empty shelves & idle cash counters

- Cluster Approach - this gives them edge in better understanding of local preferences

- Revenue per square feet is Rs. 29,019; and due to this low pilferage - major reason: knowledge of local preferences

- Only targeting Lower Middle Class, Middle Class & Upper Middle Class

- 41 pick up points in Mumbai - volume growing humongous

- Promoter holding at 82%

 *** Above are the points which I found during my analysis - in fact: I am sure there are many other too. So, please provide your comments with the addendum or your much appreciated critique or your likes. ***

 Bye for now - would come again with analysis on some other stock.

Greetings Fooodies..!! I was talking with some of my office colleagues, and came to know that many of them are yearning of "Original Chaats"... So, here I am with my "Lip-Smackingly-Fantabously-Teekha-Chatpata-Delicious" review of "Chaat Waala" at Jyoti Nivas College Rd., Koramangala 5th Block.  It was Ramzaan week, and our priority was tasting some locally prepared "Desserts" (Read it: We are Vegetarians) at "Ramzaan Stalls" of Koramangala.  As our secondary priority was "Sweets", so we started scouting for our "Primary" priority of "Meal"; this is what I call "Reverse Engineering" in "Food" ;) So, with a common consensus, we rounded on "ChaatWala" for our meal (and again, as always, Zomato came to our help; and we weren't wrong in our decision). We took a rickshaw (here, Ola came to our rescue ;) and went straight to this place keeping our fingers crossed; while taking s

Will the stock market ever go up again? In 1992, the market was trading at its highest PE of 21.88 -> fast forward 2017 -> market is trading at PE of 17.04 compared to markets highest PE of 21.88. Above is just one example of the fact that 'Markets will go even higher from today's point'; that is another thing that 'Markets will stop/pause/work sideways to take a ‘ Breather '. Other important facts: Fundamentals of Economy are and will become strong with Time. Stable Government at centre. Majority in Loksabha (just check the 'GOD Speed' at which GST bills are getting passed. 2019 and there would be a majority in Rajya Sabha, along with Lok Sabha (where there is still a majority). ‘ Macro Demand Economics ' is on a ‘ hockey stick ' growth. ‘ Per capita income ' is increasing day by day. Above are only some points, which I remember as of now; and believe mw there are many pointers which point to fact - ' Markets will

-> 13/01/2014 Does the rise of AAP threat to Modi??? Is the rise of the Aam Admi Party bad news for the Bharatiya Janata Party or good?  There are two ways of looking at this, and it isn't clear which one will prevail in April-May's general election.  First effect: The first is to see the AAP as a party of anger that collects votes against the establishment and cuts into the votes of the opposition. The establishment is the Congress and the votes taken away are those of the BJP. This is what happened in Delhi, where AAP dethroned the Congress and ate into enough of the BJP's votes to deny them victory. It is important to note here that the BJP in Delhi actually won a plurality of both the votes and the seats, though it could not win a majority.  But should this pattern repeat across India's large and mid-sized cities, it is possible that the BJP will be denied nationally in the same manner it was in Delhi.   2nd Effect: The other way of looking at it is to
