The board is scheduled to consider the unaudited Q1 FY27 financial results on August 4, 2026.
The Q1 FY27 earnings call is scheduled for August 4, 2026, at 5:15 PM IST.
The quarterly average MCX spot gold price of Rs. 1,50,733/10g represents a 69.3% YoY increase, acting as a significant tailwind for value-based revenue growth despite a 6% YoY decline in India's gold demand to 131.4 tonnes. The government's mid-quarter enforcement of a 15% effective gold import duty creates a margin headwind, though management has historically leveraged such shifts to accelerate the transition from unorganised to organised retail. With the rupee hitting an all-time low of 95.80 per USD during the quarter, the company's foreign operations and US subsidiary are expected to benefit from translation gains. The upcoming call will focus on how the FOCO-led store expansion and the 150-showroom annual target are balancing against the margin pressure from both the duty hike and the shift in store mix.

Candere achieved 160% revenue growth in FY26 and successfully turned PAT positive during the second half of the year. The company plans to drive further SSSG and expand the store count by 50-55 locations in FY27.
Kalyan Jewellers has significantly reduced its non-GML debt in India from Rs. 1,300 Cr to Rs. 300 Cr over the past three years. Management continues to focus on a capital-light FOCO model to maintain balance sheet discipline.
Management has guided for EBITDA margin degrowth for at least the next year due to the increasing share of FOCO stores, which carry lower margins than owned stores. This strategy is intended to accelerate ROCE by shifting inventory burdens to franchisees.
The company has set a target of 150 total showroom openings for FY27, including 84 Kalyan India FOCO stores and 50-55 Candere stores. Progress against this target is a primary focus for the upcoming Q1 earnings call.
