Goldman Sachs details on Avenue Supermarts amid Schneider Electric buyout of PTC
What happened
Goldman Sachs issued a report on Avenue Supermarts, noting that the stock closed at ₹3,555 after its sharpest one-day drop since October 2024. The firm's sell thesis was based on a mismatch between Avenue's growth prospects and valuation. This market activity occurred while Schneider Electric announced a $22.6 billion buyout of PTC.

Why it matters
Citi maintained a target price of ₹3,300, while Goldman Sachs held a target of ₹3,800. Citi cautioned that the valuation was expensive at 61 times estimated FY28 earnings, noting that rising competition from quick-commerce platforms like Blinkit and Swiggy was pressuring Avenue's same-store sales growth.
