    Thangamayil Jewellery traded 9 percent lower on the November 2 morning, losing around 18 percent in two days as investors dump the stock after the company’s weak performance in the September quarter of the current fiscal.

    The company’s net profit dropped 47 percent year-on-year to Rs 8 crore in the quarter from Rs 15 crore in the year-ago period. Total income, however, rose 22 percent YoY to Rs 993 crore, led by strong sales of gold jewellery and non-gold items such as silver and diamond.

    Gold ornaments volume increased 16 percent YoY, silver articles dropped 10 percent and diamond products climbed 38 percent.

    “We posted the highest half-early sales in the company’s history. We expect the festive season to keep this bullish momentum intact going ahead. We are projecting revenue at Rs 4,000 crore by the end of this year,” said SM Lakshmanan, VP – Finance & Accounts, Thangamayil Jewellery.

    The company expects margins at 6 percent at FY24, while same-store-sales growth (SSSG) would be maintained at 26 percent. Since gold prices have increased in Q3, inventory benefits would start to trickle in, he said.
