After tough start Shares surge up to 19%; investors told to focus on organised players

Brokerages said FY27 has been challenging for the gold jewellery industry because of macroeconomic pressures and seasonal demand weakness. Soaring oil prices, rising inflation concerns, and renewed bets on higher interest rates amid the West Asia crisis coincided with the once-in-three-years ‘Adhik Maas’ period – an extra month in the Hindu calendar during which weddings and some festive celebrations are traditionally deferred in many parts of the country.

Even with this impact, jewellery firms recorded healthy same-store sales growth, showing demand resilience and a continued shift towards organised players. Analysts advised investors to remain selective and avoid momentum chasing.

“The rally is largely value-driven due to higher gold prices rather than volume expansion,” said Garg. “Investors to avoid chasing sharp moves while focusing on fundamentally stronger, organised players.”

Gold prices and government policy will heavily influence near-term stock price movements, analysts said. “Jewellery stocks earlier corrected following adverse government policy measures and advisory,” said Pankaj Kumar, VP-fundamental research, Kotak Securities. He also said that demand remains resilient and sees structural tailwinds intact for organised players.Kotak Securities is constructive on Sky Gold and BlueStone, citing their strong growth visibility.
