Kalyan Jewellers shares may rally up to Rs 700, JM Financial says as it begins coverage with buy call
has initiated coverage on
Kalyan Jewellers
with a 'buy' rating and a target price of Rs 700 per share, citing the company's strong store expansion strategy, improving financial metrics and favourable structural tailwinds in India's jewellery industry. The target implies a potential upside of 19.4% from Monday's closing price.
The brokerage values Kalyan at 45 times its pre-Ind AS estimated earnings for June 2027, a discount to peers like
Titan
, which trades at 57 times, citing the latter's superior margin profile and return ratios.
However, the brokerage sees scope for a re-rating, stating, 'We believe that this sustained performance has made the company a positive outlier in the discretionary space and will eventually result in re-rating of the stock.'
Kalyan's shift to a franchise-led model has been a key enabler of rapid scale-up, with 74 net stores added in FY25 and plans for 85–90 new stores annually through FY28. 'Strong return ratios for both the franchise partner and Kalyan ensure a long runway for the partnership,' JM Financial said, highlighting the capital-light nature of the model where inventory and capex investments are taken on by the franchisee.
The brokerage expects revenue, EBITDA, and PAT for the company to grow at a compound annual rate of 25%, 23%, and 31% respectively between FY25 and FY28. While EBITDA margins are expected to contract marginally due to revenue share with franchisees, gains will accrue at the profit-before-tax level owing to lower capital deployment and reduced interest costs.
Positioned to gain from formalisation trend
India's Rs 6.4 lakh crore
jewellery market
is seeing a gradual shift toward formal players, with the organised segment projected to grow at 20% CAGR through FY28. JM Financial said Kalyan, the fourth-largest player in the industry, is well placed to benefit from this trend. 'Kalyan Jewellers, with its strong brand presence, is well placed to capture market share,' the brokerage said.
The brokerage attributed Kalyan's competitive edge to 'moats built over the years,' such as its pan-India presence, localised product mix, unique 'My Kalyan' customer acquisition model, and governance improvements, including the appointment of Grant Thornton as auditor and the sale of non-core assets to reduce debt.
Stock trends and technical
Kalyan Jewellers shares are up 0.6% on Tuesday, trading at Rs 588.90 on the BSE. The stock has advanced 5.2% year-to-date and gained 7.7% over the past six months, though it remains just 2.4% higher over the past year.
Technically, the stock is trading above seven of its eight key simple moving averages, excluding the 200-day SMA. The Relative Strength Index stands at 63.2, below the overbought threshold of 70. The MACD remains above both the centre and signal lines, reinforcing a bullish near-term trend.

Adani to exit AWL Agri, sells stake to Wilmar for Rs 10,874 crore
The Adani Group is set to fully exit AWL Agri Business (formerly Adani Wilmar Ltd) by selling its entire stake to its joint venture partner, Wilmar International of Singapore, for Rs 10,874 crore. This marks the end of one of India's longest-running joint ventures, which began in 1999. Wilmar's stake in the company will now increase from 44 per cent to 64 per cent, making it the majority shareholder and bringing Adani's involvement in the consumer-focused agri business to a close. Currently, Adani Commodities — a unit of Adani Enterprises — holds 30.42 per cent in AWL Agri. It will sell 20 per cent of this to Wilmar's Singapore-based subsidiary, Lence, at Rs 275 per share, amounting to Rs 7,150 crore. The remaining 10.42 per cent will be sold to a group of pre-identified investors, although Adani has not disclosed their identities. Adani had earlier stated, in December 2024, its intent to sell its full 44 per cent stake in the joint venture to refocus on its core infrastructure businesses. As part of the agreement announced Thursday, Adani Commodities LLP (ACL) and Lence Pte Ltd confirmed that Lence will purchase up to 259.9 million equity shares — representing 20 per cent of AWL Agri — from ACL. In January 2025, Adani had already sold 13.5 per cent of its AWL stake via an Offer for Sale (OFS) at Rs 275 per share, to help meet regulatory norms on minimum public shareholding. That reduced its holding to 30.42 per cent. The Adani-Wilmar joint venture initially had both parties holding 44 per cent each. Under a prior agreement signed in December 2024, they had also granted each other options to buy or sell shares at a mutually agreed price, capped at Rs 305 per share. With this transaction, Wilmar International becomes the sole controlling shareholder of AWL Agri with a 64 per cent stake, completing Adani's strategic exit from the FMCG space.
