Rolling Returns
Avenue Supermarts Ltd.
Every 7-year stretch DMART has been through — 30 of them, each starting a month after the last. The median returned 17.4% a year, the worst 13.0%, the best 32.3%. A single headline CAGR hides all of that.
Every Holding Period
A rolling window is every possible start date, not one. A five-year window starting in January is a different investment from one starting in February, and over twenty years there are a couple of hundred of them. What follows is the full spread of what each holding period actually produced.
Across 102 separate 1-year holding periods, the median returned 14.6% a year. The worst lost 21.3% a year and the best made 111.0%.
Worst start: February 2022 — -21.3% a year for the 1 years that followed.
Best start: May 2017 — 111.0% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: DMART came out ahead in 53.9% of the 102 windows both series cover.
Across 78 separate 3-year holding periods, the median returned 18.1% a year. The worst lost 8.6% a year and the best made 51.3%.
Worst start: December 2021 — -8.6% a year for the 3 years that followed.
Best start: October 2018 — 51.3% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: DMART came out ahead in 50.0% of the 78 windows both series cover.
Across 54 separate 5-year holding periods, the median returned 19.6% a year. The worst lost 0.6% a year and the best made 44.4%.
Worst start: August 2021 — -0.6% a year for the 5 years that followed.
Best start: March 2017 — 44.4% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: DMART came out ahead in 59.3% of the 54 windows both series cover.
Across 30 separate 7-year holding periods, the median returned 17.4% a year. Not one of them ended in a loss — the weakest still compounded at 13.0% a year.
Worst start: December 2018 — 13.0% a year for the 7 years that followed.
Best start: March 2017 — 32.3% a year.
Against the Nifty 50: DMART came out ahead in 96.7% of the 30 windows both series cover.
Windows step forward one month at a time and are measured on month-end adjusted closing prices, so dividends are treated as reinvested. Overlapping windows share months by construction — that is what makes the spread a description of this stock's history rather than a sample of independent trials.
Against The Index
Beating an index once is a result. Beating it across most of the periods an investor could have picked is a pattern. Over 7-year windows, DMART finished ahead of the Nifty 50 in 96.7% of the 30 periods both series cover.
1-year windows
Ahead in 53.9% of 102 periods.
3-year windows
Ahead in 50.0% of 78 periods.
5-year windows
Ahead in 59.3% of 54 periods.
7-year windows
Ahead in 96.7% of 30 periods.
Each window is compared against the index over the identical calendar months, on the same adjusted basis — not against an assumed rate of return.
How This Is Calculated
Windows step forward one month at a time, so they share most of their months with each other. That is what makes this a description of DMART's actual history rather than a set of independent trials — and why the spread should not be read as a probability.
Measured on month-end closing prices adjusted for dividends and splits, so dividends count as reinvested. A window that opened or closed mid-month would differ a little in either direction.
DMARTis in today's Nifty 500 universe. Companies that delisted or collapsed are not on this site at all, so the worst outcome shown here is the worst among the survivors.

HELP CENTER
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
Over 7 years, Avenue Supermarts Ltd. has been through 30 separate 7 years holding periods — one starting every month. The median returned 17.4% a year, the worst 13.0% and the best 32.3%. A rolling return measures every possible start date instead of one, which is why it answers a question a single headline CAGR cannot: how much the outcome depended on when you happened to buy.
No — not in any of the 30 7 years periods the record covers. The weakest of them still compounded at 13.0% a year. That is a statement about the past, not a guarantee about any future 7 years, and it is measured only over the years Avenue Supermarts Ltd. has been listed.
-0.6% a year, for the five years beginning August 2021. For contrast the best 5 years returned 44.4% a year, starting March 2017, and the median across all 54 periods was 19.6%. The gap between those two numbers is the part of the outcome that came down to timing rather than to the company.
On this record, yes. 1 year outcomes ranged from -21.3% to 111.0% a year — a spread of 132.3%. 7 years outcomes ranged from 13.0% to 32.3%, a spread of 19.3%. Longer holding periods narrowed the range of results, which is the usual pattern and the reason this page publishes every window rather than one. Narrowing the range is not the same as removing the risk.
In 96.7% of the 30 7 years periods both series cover. Each window is compared against the index over the identical months, not against an assumed index return, so the comparison is a like-for-like record rather than a model.
Windows step forward one month at a time on month-end closing prices adjusted for dividends and stock splits, so dividends are treated as reinvested. A window length is only published once there are at least twelve complete windows behind it — fewer than that describes an anecdote, not a distribution. Overlapping windows share months by construction, which is what makes this a description of the actual history of Avenue Supermarts Ltd. rather than a sample of independent trials. Companies that delisted are not on this site at all, a survivorship bias worth holding in mind.
That is not a question this page answers, and we do not make recommendations. What it can show you is the full range of what every holding period in the listed history of Avenue Supermarts Ltd. actually produced — including the worst ones, which most performance figures leave out. Those are records of what happened, not forecasts. A stock that never had a losing decade may still have one, and holding a single company is a materially different risk from holding an index.
