What the record says.
Bluestone delivered a strong Q1 FY26 with revenue of ₹492.6 crore (+41% YoY) and adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.8% (+1,350 bps YoY), driven by operating leverage, marketing efficiency, and manufacturing scale. The company turned cash positive at ₹17.5 crore vs a loss of ₹36 crore last year. Store count reached 292, with same-store sales growth of 18.4%. Management highlighted that 70-90% of store buyers browse online first, reinforcing the omni-channel flywheel. Guidance points to continued store expansion and margin improvement as new stores mature. Risk: rapid gold price volatility could dampen consumer demand and near-term same-store growth.
