Sky Gold & Diamonds Q3 FY26: ₹1,768 Cr Quarterly Sales, 120% Profit Jump & A Jewellery Factory That Runs Faster Than Gold Prices


1. At a Glance – Blink and You’ll Miss the Growth

Sky Gold & Diamonds Ltd is currently valued at ₹5,265 Cr market cap, trading around ₹340, with a P/E of ~23x, ROE of 25.5%, and ROCE of 21.2%. Sounds normal? Now add this spice: Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹1,768 Cr (+77% YoY) and PAT of ₹80.5 Cr (+120% YoY).

This is not a retail jewellery story. There are no glossy showrooms, no celebrity ads, no Diwali discount banners. This is a pure B2B jewellery factory quietly pumping lightweight gold into India’s biggest jewellery chains at a speed that would make traditional karigars dizzy.

Over the last 3 years, sales CAGR sits at 65%, profit CAGR at 136%, while the stock has already delivered 124% return in 3 years. Yet, the valuation still sits near industry average.

Question is simple: Is Sky Gold just riding a gold cycle… or has it cracked the jewellery manufacturing code?


2. Introduction – Not Your Daddy’s Jewellery Company

Indian jewellery businesses usually follow one of two paths:

  1. Big shiny retail stores burning cash on inventory
  2. Family-run wholesalers allergic to scale

Sky Gold chose Option 3: Be the factory behind everyone else’s showroom.

No retail risk.
No fashion inventory stuck in vitrines.
No emotional wedding season dependency.

Instead, Sky Gold makes low-grammage, fast-moving, design-heavy jewellery, ships it to giants like Malabar, Kalyan, Joyalukkas, Senco, and gets paid quickly (well… mostly quickly, more on debtors later).

This model thrives when gold prices are volatile because Sky fully hedges raw material and finished goods, meaning gold price movements don’t nuke margins overnight like they do for many jewellers.

Sky Gold is not trying to be Titan. It is trying to be Foxconn of gold jewellery. Invisible. Scalable. Ruthless on efficiency.

So let’s tear this thing apart layer by layer.


3. Business Model – WTF Do They Even Do?

Imagine a jewellery retailer wakes up one morning and says:
“Customers want lighter designs, faster launches, and Instagram-worthy collections every month.”

Sky Gold replies:
“Cool. We already have 9 lakh+ designs ready. Pick your poison.”

What Sky Gold actually does:

  • Designs lightweight gold jewellery (22kt core, 18kt & diamond fast-growing)
  • Manufactures through a hybrid in-house + outsourced asset-light model
  • Delivers orders in 7–20 days (this is insanely fast in jewellery)
  • Does not sell directly to consumers

Why lightweight matters:

  • Lower gold inventory risk
  • Faster churn
  • Better working capital turns
  • More repeat orders

Speed Bangle acquisition:

Italian-style bangles = high-volume, high-rotation category.
Sky didn’t “experiment”. They acquired Speed Bangle and plugged it straight into the factory pipeline.

New segments:

  • 18kt & diamond jewellery (higher margin)
  • 9kt jewellery collaboration with Senco (volume play)

Sky Gold is basically running a design factory + manufacturing backend while others play retailer.

Now ask yourself: How many jewellery companies scale without opening a single store?


4. Financials Overview – Numbers Don’t Lie, They Scream

📊 Quarterly Comparison Table (Q3 FY26)

MetricLatest Qtr (Dec FY26)YoY Qtr (Dec FY25)Prev Qtr (Sep FY26)YoY %QoQ %
Revenue (₹ Cr)1,7689981,48477.1%19.1%
EBITDA (₹ Cr)12257100114%22%
PAT (₹ Cr)80.536.567.0120%20%
EPS (₹)5.202.494.33109%20%

Margins are creeping up slowly but steadily. This is important because jewellery manufacturing is a volume game, not a margin fantasy.

Annualised EPS (Q3 rule applied)
Average EPS of Q1, Q2, Q3 FY26 = (2.93 + 4.33 + 5.20) / 3 ≈ 4.15
Annualised EPS ≈ ₹16.6

At ₹340, you’re looking at ~20–21x forward run-rate EPS, not insane for a company compounding sales at 60%+.

But wait… working capital enters the chat.


5. Valuation Discussion – Let’s Do Math, Not Bhakti

Method 1: P/E Range

  • Sustainable EPS range: ₹16–18
  • Conservative P/E band: 18x–24x

Fair value range: ₹290 – ₹430


Method 2: EV / EBITDA

  • TTM EBITDA ≈ ₹357 Cr
  • EV ≈ ₹5,850 Cr
  • Current EV/EBITDA ≈ 15.3x

For a company growing EBITDA >80%, a 12x–16x band is fair.

EV-based range: ₹4,600 Cr – ₹6,200 Cr market cap


Method 3: DCF (Sanity Check)

Assumptions:

  • Revenue CAGR tapers from 50% → 25%
  • PAT margin stabilises at ~4.3%
  • WACC ~12%

Result: Valuation broadly clusters near current market cap, with upside dependent on margin expansion and WC
