Jewellery-related stocks have been shining brightly over the last one-year period, setting new record highs with each passing month and rewarding phenomenal returns to their shareholders. This stellar performance can be attributed to a strong spike in gold prices, resulting in improved price realization.
For instance, shares of Kalyan Jewellers India, one of the country’s largest jewellery companies, have soared by 230% since last Diwali. The stock initiated its bullish trajectory in July last year and has maintained the same momentum to date, gaining 465%.

Will these stocks maintain upward momentum post-Diwali?
According to Sonam Srivastava, Founder and Fund Manager at Wright Research, PMS, the rally in jewellery stocks such as Kalyan Jewellers, Senco Gold & Diamonds, and Thangamayil Jewellery, which have seen significant gains, may or may not continue post-Diwali.
“The festive season typically boosts sales, but whether this translates into sustained stock performance depends on various factors. These include consumer demand post-festival season, economic indicators like inflation and interest rates, company fundamentals, and broader market trends,” Sonam said.

“For the outlook over the next year, one would have to consider the industry’s adaptation to shifts like increased online retailing, consumer trends, and potential regulatory changes. The performance of these stocks is also linked to the price of gold, which can affect company margins. Global economic conditions and geopolitical stability, which influence gold prices and investment sentiment towards safe-haven assets like gold, will also play a crucial role,” Sonam added.

“A lot of buzz usually starts in the market near Diwali and Dhanteras for companies dealing in precious metals. The demand usually soars during the same period. A few jewellery stocks have already rallied on the same buzz and have given good returns to investors. From the current levels, the stock may enter the consolidation zone, and the further movement of the stock prices will depend on the market conditions and the corporate earnings from the respective companies. There will be some buying interest in the stocks, but the rally may turn into consolidation, and the further trend will depend mostly on the market sentiments,” said Atul Parakh, CEO of Bigul.
