DMart investors will closely watch management commentary on demand outlook and overall business performance. Any commentary on business momentum amid rising quick-commerce competition will also be watched. Key metrics like same-store sales and store productivity will also be tracked closely.

Ahead of the Q1 result announcement, DMart shares are trading 0.3% lower at ₹4,066. So far this year, DMart shares have delivered over 7.8% return to investors.

Technical view

DMart is trading near ₹4,079, attempting a mild recovery from the immediate support zone of ₹4,019–₹4,000. However, the stock remains below all its key moving averages. A move above the ₹4,140–₹4,200 zone will be important for the stock to regain strength.

On the downside, ₹4,019 remains the key support to watch. A sustained close below this level may trigger further weakness towards ₹3,900–₹3,850. The RSI near 43 suggests weak momentum, so the stock remains rangebound with a slightly negative bias unless it closes above ₹4,200.

Options outlook

Options data for DMart’s 28 July expiry saw significant call and put open interest (OI) at the 4,000 strike, suggesting rangebound movement around this zone.

The ATM strike for DMart on July 9 is 4,050, with both the call and put options priced at ₹242. This suggests an implied price movement of approximately ±6% ahead of its expiry.

Options strategy for DMart

With the options market pricing in a ±6% move ahead of the July 28 expiry, traders might consider long or short straddle strategies to capitalise on potential volatility.

A long straddle means buying both an at-the-money (ATM) call and put option on DMart with the same strike and expiry. This sets up profits if the stock moves more than ±6% in either direction.

A short straddle involves selling the same pair of ATM options. It pays off if the stock stays relatively flat and moves less than ±6% by expiry.
