Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
high
Margin pressure from new store openings and new state entry
Entering Maharashtra and opening ~100,000 sq ft of new space could increase pre-operating expenses and drag on EBITDA margins in the near term.
Inventory days remain elevated
Despite improvement, inventory days are still high (~180 days). Management avoided giving a specific target, citing risk of impacting sales if inventory is cut too aggressively.
Gold price volatility impacting consumer budgets
Rising gold prices may reduce wedding budgets for apparel, though management sees potential diversion from gold to sarees. Impact is uncertain.
