Jewellery stocks face a demand and margin test
Ravi Singh, chief research officer at Mastertrust, expects festive purchases, wedding demand and healthy consumer sentiment to support jewellery sales. He said shoppers are adapting to higher gold prices through lightweight designs, smaller purchases and exchanges of old gold.
Singh sees organised retailers including Titan, Kalyan and Senco benefiting from market-share gains. Higher selling values may support revenue, but that does not necessarily mean retailers are selling more jewellery: volume growth and margins remain separate measures to watch.
Kranthi Bathini, director of equity strategy at WealthMills Securities, also expects domestic demand to remain steady during the festive season. He highlighted making charges—the fees levied for manufacturing jewellery—as another contributor to retailers’ earnings.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Lalithaa IPO price | Rs 201 per share. |
| NSE listing | Rs 265 on August 24, 2026. |
| Record high | Rs 414.10 on October 7, 2026. |
| Latest available price | Rs 361.85 in the October 16 article snapshot; not identified as a closing price. |
Senco’s growth target sets an earnings benchmark
Singh highlighted Senco’s revenue performance and valuation as reasons for his interest. He cited first-quarter revenue of Rs 3,056 crore and said the company had retained guidance for 20% value growth in FY27.
That guidance concerns sales value rather than physical sales volume. With gold prices elevated, the distinction matters when assessing how much growth comes from higher realisations and how much comes from additional customer purchases.
Lalithaa’s listing gains put results in focus
Bathini identified Lalithaa Jewellery Mart as another company to track alongside Titan and Kalyan. Its shares had risen substantially from the IPO price, although the latest available price was below the October record high.
He said the company’s financial results would provide a clearer basis for assessing its performance and prospects. The price history establishes the scale of the post-listing move, but does not by itself demonstrate earnings growth.
Long-term market growth remains a projection
The India Brand Equity Foundation’s gems and jewellery market outlook projects that India’s market will reach Rs 11,18,390 crore, or $130 billion, by 2030. It identifies global jewellery demand, consumer spending in markets including the US, UK and Middle East, and the expansion of organised retailers as growth drivers.
That industry projection provides a longer-term backdrop, not a forecast for any individual retailer’s earnings or share price. Near-term festive sales and company results will show how retailers are managing the current high-price environment.
Conclusion
The next company results will test whether festive demand is supporting sales volumes and profitability, rather than revenue alone. For Senco, delivery against its FY27 growth guidance remains a benchmark; for Lalithaa, earnings disclosure will help put its post-listing share performance in context.
