Synopsis: Kalyan Jewellers’ shares fell despite strong Q1 growth as investors expected better performance. However, the company continues to expand its store network and remains optimistic about long-term growth.
This Mid-Cap Jewellery Stock, engaged in the retailing of gold, diamond, platinum, silver, and gemstone jewellery through an extensive network of physical showrooms and its digital jewellery platform, Candere, across India and international markets, crashed 8.62 percent in today’s intraday trade. In this article, we will explore the reasons for the stock’s fall.
With a market capitalization of Rs. 37,034.06 crores, the share of Kalyan Jewellers India Limited has reached an intraday low of Rs. 348.35 per equity share, down nearly 8.62 percent from its previous day’s close price of Rs. 381.20. Since then, the stock has retreated and is currently trading at Rs. 358.40 per equity share.
Reason Behind the Crash
Kalyan Jewellers India Limited’s share price fell because its Q1 business update did not meet the market’s high expectations. Although the company reported strong revenue growth of 38 percent, investors compared its performance with that of Titan Company, which reported 41 percent growth in its consumer business and 39 percent growth in its jewellery segment. As a result, many investors felt Kalyan’s growth was relatively weaker, leading to selling pressure on the stock.
Another reason for the decline was that the market had already expected a very strong performance from the company. While the Q1 update showed healthy business growth, it was not considered exceptional by investors. In addition, some shareholders booked profits after the stock’s earlier gains instead of holding their investments. This combination of high expectations, comparison with Titan, and profit booking resulted in Kalyan Jewellers’ shares falling sharply despite the company’s strong operational performance.
Company Update (Q1 FY27)
Kalyan Jewellers reported a strong performance in the first quarter of FY2027. The company recorded a 38 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue compared to the same period last year. Its India business also grew by more than 38 percent, supported by strong customer demand and a same-store sales growth of around 28 percent. This performance was achieved despite the 28-day Adhik Maas period, which usually reduces wedding-related jewellery purchases.
The company also launched its “Shine with India” gold recirculation campaign to increase the use of recycled gold and reduce dependence on imported gold. The campaign received a positive response from customers. As a result, recycled gold contributed more than 46 percent of revenue during Q1, while in June alone, it exceeded 55 percent.
Kalyan Jewellers’ international business also performed well, with 35 percent revenue growth during the quarter. Its Middle East operations grew by 30 percent, despite lower customer footfall in April due to geopolitical tensions. International markets contributed 14 percent of the company’s total revenue. Meanwhile, its digital jewellery platform, Candere, recorded an impressive 112 percent revenue growth compared to the previous year.
Retail Network and Showrooms
During the quarter, Kalyan Jewellers India Limited expanded its retail network by opening 12 Kalyan showrooms and 5 Candere showrooms in India. As of June 30, 2026, Kalyan Jewellers operated 524 showrooms worldwide, including 354 in India, 38 in the Middle East, 2 in the USA, 1 in the UK, and 129 Candere stores. The company remains optimistic about future growth, supported by new showroom launches and the upcoming festive and wedding season.
