Multibagger stock: Kalyan Jewellers achieves over 280% return in 10 months; up 355% from IPO price

Kalyan Jewellers, one of India's largest jewellery companies, has witnessed a remarkable surge in its stock price since April 2023, consistently reaching new record highs each month.

This impressive performance is largely attributed to a significant increase in gold prices, resulting in improved price realisation, improved financial performance in recent quarters, and a strong emphasis on expanding its market presence.

Starting from ₹102.95 apiece in April last year, the company's shares have surged by 284% to reach the current value of ₹395 per share. On March 02, the stock hit an all-time high of ₹419 per share.

Kalyan Jewellers' shares debuted on March 26, 2021, at ₹75.3 per share, compared to the issue price of ₹87. Despite a challenging first year, ending with a 21.26% decrease in value to ₹68.5, the stock rebounded in CY22, posting a solid gain of 85%. 

This momentum continued into CY23, with a whopping return of 180%, and the stock has already risen by 12% in the current year. Taking the stock's current value into account, it is up by 425% from its listing price and 355% from its IPO price.

During the quarter, Kalyan Jewellers added 22 new 'Kalyan' showrooms in India.

At the end of the third quarter, the company boasted a total of 235 showrooms spread across India and the Middle East.

Going forward, the proportion of organised retail in the jewellery sector is set to continue, driven by the marketing efforts of organised retailers. Estimates suggest that organised players' share is expected to reach 60% by 2025. Additionally, sales of wedding jewellery are projected to rise in the coming years, along with daily and fashion wear pieces.
