Kalyan Jewellers’ shares surged sharply over five consecutive trading sessions, climbing 51% to reach an 11-month high of ₹535 on the National Stock Exchange by July 14, 2026. This rally followed the company’s release of its quarterly business update for the April-June period, which highlighted robust revenue growth and expansion plans.
The Thrissur-based jewellery retailer’s stock outperformed the broader market, with the NIFTY LARGEMIDCAP 250 index declining by 0.33% during the same timeframe. Investors responded positively to the company’s strong financial performance and strategic initiatives.
Strong Quarterly Performance Drives Investor Confidence
Kalyan Jewellers reported consolidated revenue growth of approximately 38% for the first quarter of the current financial year compared to the same period last year. The company attributed this growth to healthy same-store sales across key markets in India, despite the quarter including a 28-day Adhik Maas period, which traditionally affects gold buying.
Same-store sales growth (SSSG) for the quarter stood at 28%, reflecting strong demand in existing outlets. International operations also contributed significantly, with revenue rising about 35% year-on-year. In the Middle East, revenue increased by roughly 30%, driven by SSSG despite lower footfall in April due to geopolitical tensions.
International markets accounted for nearly 14% of the company’s consolidated revenue during the quarter. The digital-first jewellery platform Candere, owned by Kalyan Jewellers, saw an impressive 112% revenue increase compared to the previous year.
Expansion and Sustainability Initiatives
During the quarter, Kalyan Jewellers opened 12 new showrooms in India and five Candere outlets, bringing its total showroom count to 524 across India and international markets as of June 30, 2026. This expansion supports the company’s growth strategy and enhances its market presence.
The company also launched the 'Shine with India' gold recirculation campaign in late May, aiming to increase the use of recycled gold and reduce reliance on imports. This initiative successfully raised the share of recycled gold to over 46% of revenue in the quarter, with June alone exceeding 55%.
Why This Surge Matters for Investors
The sharp rise in Kalyan Jewellers’ stock price reflects growing investor confidence in the company’s ability to sustain growth amid challenging market conditions. The combination of strong domestic and international sales, digital platform success, and showroom expansion positions the company well for the upcoming festive and wedding seasons, which are peak periods for jewellery sales.
Global investment firm Citi highlighted the company’s asset-light model and franchise-led expansion as factors that will support revenue growth and improve return on capital employed. Despite geopolitical challenges affecting footfall in the Middle East, Kalyan Jewellers’ diversified approach and focus on recycled gold contribute to its resilience.
As of mid-July 2026, the stock continued to trade higher, signaling positive market sentiment and expectations for continued momentum in the coming quarters.
