INDmoney Recommendation
At the higher end of the price band, Kalyan Jewellers is aggressively priced at a P/E ratio of about ~63 times FY20 consolidated EPS (on fully-diluted basis). As the company has reported losses in the Apr-Dec 20 period, it cannot be valued using annualised 9MFY21 price-earnings ratio. The valuation is expensive, considering the company muted financial performance over the last few years.
The nearest comparable listed peer Titan Company Ltd has much superior margins and return ratios as compared to Kalyan Jewellers. Given muted topline and bottomline growth, low margins and return ratios and expensive valuations, we remain ‘Neutral’ on the prospects of the issue.
