Quarter read
What the record says.
Senco Gold delivered a historic Q3 FY26 with revenue of ₹3,000 Cr (+50% YoY), EBITDA of ₹400 Cr (13.2% margin, +210bps YoY), and PAT of ₹264 Cr (+689% YoY). The stellar performance was driven by strong festive and wedding demand, a shift to lightweight and diamond studded jewelry (studded value +38% YoY), and operating leverage from higher own-store sales (65% of revenue). Management guided for Q4 revenue growth of 25-30% YoY and a sustainable EBITDA margin of 7.5-7.8% for FY27, with near-term margins benefiting from elevated gold prices. Key risks include gold price volatility impacting volume growth (gold volume -10% in 9M) and working capital strain from high inventory levels (₹4,602 Cr).
Colored figures show movement against the previous available record.
Guidance to track
- Management guided for 25-30% revenue growth in Q4, conservatively, despite gold price volatility and seasonal factors like Holi.
- For FY27, management expects EBITDA margin of 7.5-7.8% at current gold prices, with 7.3-7.5% if prices moderate.
- Plans to open 18-20 stores in FY27, with a mix of 8-10 own stores and 8-10 franchise stores, focusing on franchise expansion.
- Hedging ratio will stay at 55-60% due to gold price volatility and working capital constraints; may increase to 80-90% if stability returns.
Risks flagged
- Gold volume declined 10% in 9M FY26; further price spikes could compress consumer budgets and reduce footfalls, pressuring revenue growth.
- Inventory value rose to ₹4,602 Cr (from ₹2,963 Cr), funded by borrowings; elevated gold prices increase working capital needs and interest costs.
- Management declined to disclose detailed hedging strategies; recent gold price swings caused margin calls, and low hedging (55-60%) exposes balance sheet to price drops.
- 2-2.5% of EBITDA margin in 9M came from realization gains; if gold prices stabilize or fall, margins could revert to 7.5-7.8% guidance.
Key quotes
- We've crossed 3,000 K of revenue, an EIA of Rs 400 K and a PAT of rupees 264 K in this particular quarter. So this is something which becomes much more special because we have seen that this particular financial year has been one which has been extremely volatile.
- Our philosophy and our vision is that Senko Gold and Diamond should be known as a house of design.
- We don't want to discuss those details. These are strategic points and they are calibrated from time to time.
