According to Bloomberg data, Kalyan Jewellers currently has eight 'Buy' recommendations, with consensus estimates implying an upside of up to 42%.
Although Citi acknowledged that the company's June-quarter consolidated revenue growth of 38% year-on-year came in below its estimates, the brokerage said the miss did not alter its constructive long-term outlook.
It expects Kalyan Jewellers' franchise-led expansion strategy to continue supporting profitable growth while improving return on capital employed (RoCE). Citi also highlighted the strong performance of Candere, the company's digital-first jewellery business, as an additional long-term growth driver.
Business Update Supports Long-Term Optimism
In its June-quarter business update, Kalyan Jewellers reported 38% growth in India revenue, supported by same-store sales growth (SSSG) of 28%.
Its international business grew about 35% year-on-year, with West Asia operations expanding around 30%. Overseas markets contributed roughly 14% of consolidated revenue during the quarter.
Candere remained the fastest-growing business, posting a 112% increase in revenue from a year earlier.

During the quarter, the company opened 12 Kalyan showrooms and five Candere stores, taking its total retail network to 524 outlets as of June 30. Management also said it entered the second quarter on a positive note ahead of the festive and wedding season.
The latest rally marks a sharp reversal from earlier this week, when the stock had fallen nearly 7% after investors reacted negatively to revenue growth that trailed expectations and lagged larger rival Titan.
However, Citi's reaffirmation of its bullish stance has helped revive investor sentiment, with the market shifting its focus towards Kalyan Jewellers' expansion strategy, improving operating metrics and long-term growth prospects
