Kalyan Jewellers have a significant presence in India with them being the second-largest PAN India retailer of gold and other fancy jewellery. They have a wide range of products and their “Hyper Local” strategy was implemented to further increase their consumer reach on the local level where they face a lot of competitions from organized and unorganized companies in the Indian jewellery industry.

On the financial side, the company has had static growth and has incurred some losses due to natural calamities. They have reported a net profit of Rs 142.28 Cr, Rs (4.86) Cr, and Rs 140.99 Cr on the FY20, FY19, and FY18 respectively. For nine months from March 2020 to Dec 2020, they have reported a net loss of Rs 79.95 Cr which was mainly due to the lockdown measures. On the upper price band of Rs 87 and EPS of Rs 1.49 for FY20, the P/E ratio works out to be 58x. For the last 3 years average EPS of Rs 0.98, the P/E ratio is 89x. We cannot annualize last 9 months EPS to check P/E, as it incurred losses. Hence, the company asking price of Rs 87 of the upper price band is resulting in the P/E range of 58x to 88x. There is only one listed peer i.e. Titan Company trading at P/E 84x. Hence Kalyan Jewellers share price of Rs 87 is fully priced in. Considering all the above factors and since many strong companies IPOs are lined up in this year and month, we recommend to “AVOID” this IPO
