In short

What the reporting says
Vishal Mega Mart reported consolidated Q2 net profit of ₹157.9 crore, up 3.7% year on year, while its profit margin contracted to 4.6% in the quarter. The market note says the stock fell 6% as a festive shift weighed on margins and same-store sales growth, but the reporting does not give the exact SSSG figure. The immediate consequence is weaker investor sentiment despite profit growth.
Why it matters
Vishal Mega Mart reported consolidated Q2 net profit of ₹157.9 crore, up 3.7% year on year, even as its margin contracted to 4.6% and the stock fell 6% in market trade. The note links the decline to festive timing and same-store sales growth pressure, but it does not provide the SSSG number. The immediate impact is on the retailer’s shares and margin outlook.
