What to watch
- Q2 FY27 volume prints from FMCG majors confirming vs one-off restocking
- Gold price volatility and its impact on jewellery same-store sales and working capital
- Monsoon distribution and rural wage/employment data
- Palm oil and key commodity input-cost trends flowing into gross margins
- Nykaa GMV-to-margin conversion and BPC input-cost normalization
- GST/tax relief pass-through and festive demand data points
- Rotate into diversified retail (Trent, Titan) that shows both volume and value expansion over single-category jewellers
- Trim exposure to names carrying near-term margin pressure (Nykaa) until gross-margin trajectory confirms
- Watch value-retail floor-space additions as leading indicator of management confidence in demand durability
- Position for festive-season (Q2/Q3) beat-and-raise cycle in FMCG volume plays (Marico, Dabur, Godrej)
