Sky Gold & Diamonds - What does Future Hold?
I am not an expert on Gold & Silver, but I want to talk about a concern that is currently running in my mind that could impact companies in this space - specifically the B2B gold manufacturers
Background – B2B Gold jewellery manufacturer’s growth is primarily driven by volumes and revenue model is cost plus margins.
1. The Current Gold & Silver price rise looks more like a phenomenon that is here to stay, gold may hold onto large part these gains and even can continue to inch up further before it starts to stagnate.
2. Now, people here in India buy gold largely for consumption during festivals or weddings and typically have specific budget in mind to spend for the occasion.
3. With the rise that happened recently, the ability to buy gold quantity has reduced, although value wise it may stay same or slightly increase.
4. Thus, jewellery volume (kgs) consumed by jewellers may decrease resulting in lower demand for manufacturing as inventories would move at slow pace.
5. Now, this situation clouds growth for B2B manufacturers.
6. Smaller jewellers with mediocre design variety may even struggle to survive as customers move to large format stores basically organized jewellers for more options. Unorganized to organized move becomes more prominent.
On the other hand, factors that can work in favour of B2B Jewellery manufacturers are if:
1. Jewellers like Titan, Senco, Kalyan PNG continue to aggressively expand their store network which will drive for gold volume
2. Light weight, inexpensive alternative jewellery demand picks up meaningfully that drive growth for B2B manufacturers
3. Export demand if works out as another growth driver
In all, culmination of all the above points I think still would be negative for B2B manufacturers.
So, commentary of Sky gold post Q3FY26 results will be more important to get cues for the future growth scenario.
I wish and hope I am proved wrong and growth story remains intact but...
What do you think about this space, feel free to comment?
