Risk intelligence
Gold volume sold in 9M FY26 fell ~29% YoY to 2,344 kg from 3,297 kg, indicating price-led demand destruction that could persist if gold prices remain elevated.
Management acknowledged that ~₹20 crore of PAT in Q3 came from inventory gains due to rising gold prices, which may not recur if prices stabilize or decline.
The proposed QIP has been delayed, and management cited waiting for better market conditions to minimize dilution, which may signal equity overhang.
Only one new store opened in the last 9 months (Dahlab in April 2025), and management now targets 4-5 stores next year, suggesting execution risk.
