"A big 900 bps duty cut on gold and return of operating normalcy has driven a strong recovery with FY25TD retail growth climbing to ~20 percent. Senco has retained its FY25 growth outlook of 18-20 percent. The EBITDA margin beat of ~250 bps was led by better franchisee terms, lower discounting/better gold premium, and a low-margin base as hedging remained at ~95 percent in Q1," added the brokerage.
