Current Market Price= ₹332.1; Market Cap = ₹ 5,196.5 Cr
EPS growth in FY26 muted compared to PAT due to increase in equity to fund the acquisition of Speed Bangle
Reasonably priced on a FY26 basis
Attractively priced on a FY27 basis with 15x P/E and 12x EV/EBIDTA
Opportunity to re-rate to to a 20x+ PE based on FY27 EPS.
Sky Gold & Diamonds appears undervalued on FY27 metrics — with re-rating potential as it delivers on FY27 guidance
8.2 Opportunity at Current Valuation
Attractive Forward Valuations: At FY27 P/E of ~15x, EV/EBIDTA of ~12x the valuations don’t seem to be discounting FY27 guidance
Potential for re-rating of multiples based on FY27 execution
Capacity Expansion: With a vision of 4-5 ton capacity from the current 1.2 ton per month capacity by FY31/32 indicates a much larger opportunity beyond FY27
Large Headroom for Growth:
Transition toward organized jewellery retail is a structural tailwind
Creates opportunities for SKYGOLD, which has <0.5% market share
Global Optionality:
Target 25%+ by FY27
Dubai office to cut gold costs
Distributor in Malaysia scaling up
Faster receivables (<15 days) improve cash flow
8.3 Risk at Current Valuation
Execution Risks: Its an emerging red-flag, needs to be watched carefully
FY27 PAT margin from 4.5% to 4.25-4.5%
Q2 FY26 gold volume below guidance given in Q1
Delay in Gold Metal Loans
Any delay in client ramp-up, order conversion, or export scale-up limit near-term upside.
Capacity Expansion: The new capacity will come up by 2028 end. Its a multi-year project. Delays will mute the opportunity in SKYGOLD
Negative Operating Cash Flow:
SKYGOLD promising to be cash flow positive in FY28
A miss will put a question mark on the quality of earnings
