HDFC Securities expects revenue to rise 7% year on year to Rs 1,260 crore. Analysts see Rs 440 as resistance and Rs 400 as support. The Q2 FY26 base was net revenue of Rs 1,257 crore and a net loss of Rs 20 crore.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">Shoppers Stop shares jumped on 15 October 2026 to an intraday high of Rs 419.5, a rise of about 11.8%, a day before the company reports Q2 FY27 results. HDFC Securities expects revenue to rise 7% year on year to Rs 1,260 crore, though the Q2 FY26 net revenue was already Rs 1,257 crore, so the 7% and the Rs 1,260 crore do not match on that base (my calculation). Analysts have marked Rs 440 as resistance and Rs 400 as key support, and the earnings call is set for 5:00 pm IST on 16 October. Investors will watch like-for-like growth, margins, the return to profit seen in Q1 and the pace of store expansion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Shoppers Stop is one of India&#8217;s largest department store chains, with beauty, Intune and First Citizen loyalty businesses. Its shares rose sharply on Thursday, opening 2.6% higher and extending the gain through the session, a day before its September quarter results.<\/p>\n<p>This guide explains the move in Shoppers Stop shares, the numbers investors will compare against, what the Q1 FY27 result showed, key price levels and the risks. The headline says the stock surged 15%, while the sources I found show about 10% to 11.8%, and I explain the gap.<\/p>\n<p>The article is educational, and results are not out at the time of
