What to watch

  • Quarterly jewellery sales growth versus overall discretionary retail and listed consumer peers.
  • Like-for-like growth, net store additions, and the sales productivity of newly opened stores.
  • Studded-jewellery mix, wedding demand commentary, and premiumisation trends.
  • Gold-price movement, consumer response to higher ticket values, and any changes in gold import duty or tax policy.
  • Gross-margin and EBIT-margin trend, including discounting and promotional intensity.
  • Inventory days, gold-metal-loan exposure, operating cash flow, and working-capital requirements.
  • Further FY27 consensus EPS revisions and management guidance during quarterly results.
  • Accelerate jewellery store openings and cluster expansion, especially in underpenetrated tier-2 and tier-3 cities.
  • Prioritise premium wedding, studded-jewellery, and differentiated design collections to protect gross margin and average ticket size.
  • Use the stronger earnings narrative to reinforce organised-market-share capture versus independent jewellers.
  • Maintain gold-price risk management and inventory discipline to reduce margin and working-capital volatility.
  • Increase cross-selling across Tanishq, Mia, CaratLane, watches, and wearables where customer acquisition economics support it.
