What to watch

  • Monthly gold price movement and the effective retail-price impact of higher customs duty from Q2.
  • Q2 same-store sales growth, especially transaction volumes versus average ticket size.
  • Gross margin and adjusted PAT margin trend following changes in product mix and promotions.
  • New-store ramp-up, store-level payback and whether expansion remains concentrated in underpenetrated cities.
  • Inventory days, gold-loan/working-capital requirements and operating cash-flow conversion.
  • Competitive pricing, exchange offers and expansion plans from organised jewellery peers.
  • Management commentary on customer purchase deferrals, bridal demand and demand elasticity after the duty increase.
  • Increase lightweight, studded-diamond, gold-savings-plan and exchange-led assortment to protect affordability and conversion after duty-related price increases.
  • Prioritise productivity of the 12 newly added stores before materially accelerating the rollout, with city-level breakeven and repeat-customer cohorts as gating metrics.
  • Use targeted digital acquisition and omnichannel appointments in new tier-2/3 markets, while avoiding broad discounting that could erode adjusted PAT.
  • Strengthen gold-price hedging, inventory turns and vendor terms to limit working-capital intensity and margin volatility.
  • Track whether strong same-store growth is being driven by traffic, conversion, average selling price or mix; price-led growth would be more vulnerable in Q2.
