PC Jeweller vs Senco Gold vs Kalyan Jewellers: Which stock to buy ahead of Q1 results 2025?
Jewellery stocks: The jewellery sector is witnessing momemtum as investors look forward to the Q1 FY26 results of listed companies such as PC Jeweller, Senco Gold, and Kalyan Jewellers. Traditionally, this quarter benefits from festive buying during Akshaya Tritiya and the busy wedding season — a pattern that has held true this year as well. Despite some volatility in gold prices, all three firms have noted robust demand in their April to June business updates, driven by high-ticket purchases and strong customer turnout. Senco Gold said that festivals such as Poila Boishakh and Baisakhi led to increased footfall at its stores. Kalyan Jewellers experienced strong customer engagement across both India and the Middle East. PC Jeweller, with its primary focus on the domestic market, witnessed a significant rise in demand fueled by wedding and festive buying. According to Gaurav Goel, Founder & Director at Fynocrat Technologies, all three companies have had a strong quarter, but for a risk-averse investor, Senco Gold stands out as the more balanced and dependable choice. It has shown steady growth, improved margins, and continued to build its brand while being transparent in its business updates. Senco Gold posted 28 percent growth in total revenue, including 24 percent growth in retail revenue and a 19 percent rise in same-store sales. It opened nine new jewellery stores and continued building its portfolio of sub-brands like Sennes and Everlite. The company also said that diamond jewellery remained in strong demand and that gold exchange made up 40 percent of its overall sales. Kalyan Jewellers reported a 31 percent growth in overall revenue and highlighted that its digital-first platform, Candere, grew by 67 percent compared to last year. The company opened 19 new showrooms during the quarter and confirmed plans to add 170 more across India and international markets this year PC Jeweller reported the highest revenue growth among the three, at around 80 percent compared to the same period last year. The company said this growth was driven by strong wedding and festive demand. It also reported that it has further reduced its outstanding debt and remains on track to become debt-free by the end of FY26. Ganesh Dongre, Senior Manager of Technical Research at Anand Rathi, said on all three jewellery stocks - PC Jeweller has recently broken out above the ₹ 12 level, achieving a new 52-week high at ₹ 19 on the weekly chart. The formation of a bullish engulfing pattern further confirms strong bullish momentum and the possibility of continued rally. However, the stock is currently in an overbought condition, and a stiff resistance is evident around the ₹ 20–22 zone. A decisive breakout above this resistance would be necessary for the next leg of the rally. For now, support is seen around ₹ 13–14. Traders are advised to avoid fresh positions at current levels and instead look for buying opportunities near the support zone. A dip-buying strategy may be considered with a stop-loss at ₹ 12 and an upside target of ₹ 22. Senco Gold has formed a bullish engulfing pattern on the weekly chart, a classic bullish signal that indicates potential for further upside momentum. The stock also appears to be rebounding from key Fibonacci retracement levels, supporting the likelihood of a continued upward trajectory. The expected upside range is projected between ₹ 470 and ₹ 510 in the coming months. Investors holding the stock may consider maintaining their positions, with a stop-loss placed at ₹ 300, while targeting the ₹ 420 mark in the medium term. Kalyan Jewellers has witnessed a significant trendline breakout on the monthly chart, particularly above the ₹ 570 mark, indicating the potential for a strong upward move. This breakout is visible on both the weekly and monthly timeframes, suggesting robust bullish sentiment. In the short term, technical indicators such as the RSI are showing strength, further supporting the bullish bias. Considering the overall structure, traders may adopt a "buy on dips" strategy, especially around the ₹ 550–570 zone, which now acts as a crucial support area and could offer an attractive entry point for medium to long-term gains. So, Investor can hold and buy this stock with stop loss of 530 for the target price of 650. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

Senco Gold shares hit 5% upper circuit after Q1 revenue jumps 28% on festive-fuelled demand
Shares of Senco Gold hit the 5% upper circuit at Rs 367.5 on Monday after the company reported a strong Q1 FY26 performance , driven by festive demand and showroom expansion. Total revenue rose 28% year-on-year, with retail revenue up 24% and same-store sales growth (SSSG) at 19%. Key festivals like Akshaya Tritiya, Poila Baishakh, and Baisakhi boosted footfalls across stores. The company also recorded 10% growth in invoices and SKU volumes. Diamond jewellery volume grew 35%, while gold coins accounted for 4.5% of sales. Domestic gold prices averaged Rs 86,900–1,01,000 per 10 grams, up 32% YoY. Senco launched nine new showrooms, bringing the total to 179, and added a Sennes outlet in Patna, expanding the sub-brand to seven stores. The company also entered Nagpur via the franchise route. Despite some softness in volume—particularly in the mass and bridal segments—value-based demand remained strong, supported by a ~40% contribution from old gold exchange. The company also launched multiple festive campaigns and introduced 11,400 new designs during Q1. Also Read: Street favourite! 10 BSE large-cap stocks analysts expect to rally up to 70% Q2 and FY26 Outlook Senco Gold has already launched nine showrooms and remains on track to meet its FY26 target of 20 new stores. The company has a healthy pipeline of franchisee outlets under the FOFO (Franchisee Owned Franchisee Operated) and FOCO (Franchisee Owned Company Operated) models, and is also exploring franchise expansion for its lifestyle brands — Sennes, Gossip, and Everlite. Sennes, positioned as a modern brand, is expected to maintain its growth momentum. Q2 is typically a seasonally soft quarter, due to the absence of major festivals or weddings, with demand largely dependent on the monsoon. However, factors such as an early onset of monsoon (for the first time in 16 years), a 106% above-average rainfall forecast, and a stable macroeconomic environment have prompted the company to focus on inventory optimisation, festive collections, and a stronger push for diamond and lightweight jewellery. Gold price volatility and upcoming festivals like Raksha Bandhan and Onam will be key demand drivers. The company also noted rising consumer interest in 14K and 18K jewellery, even as the broader industry shifts toward 9K options.

Mumbai: Acclaimed filmmaker Imtiaz Ali celebrated his mother's 75th birthday in Pahalgam, Kashmir. Dropping a sneak peek of the family celebration on social media, the 'Rockstar' maker shared a string of photographs on his official Instagram handle, along with a video.

"gratitude and love as mom turns 75! in Pahalgam, Kashmir :) @khawarjamsheed @arifali1541 @haya_vakil @ Ali penned the caption. Pahalgam recently made headlines following the unfortunate terror attack, that led to the demise of at least 26 civilians. Talking about his professional commitments, Ali recently announced his next with Diljit Diljit, Naseeruddin Shah, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari. If the reports are to be believed, this yet-to-be-titled drama will go on floors by August this year and will be getting a theatrical release on Baisakhi 2026. Shedding light on his next, Ali shared a statement that read, ''Tum mere paas hote ho goya, Jab koi doosra nahin hota' ('You are with me, however, When there is no one else') -Momin. Can love really be lost? Can home be taken away from someone's heart?' 'It has a large canvas, yet is very personal. It is a story of a boy and a girl, but also a country. Wish us well as we dive into the currents of this dynamic story, we hope to emerge next year with a touching cinematic experience in a theatre near you,' the 'Tamasha' maker added. Meanwhile, Ali recently supported Diljit amidst the ongoing controversy regarding his movie, "Sardaar Ji 3", starring Pakistani actress Hania Aamir. He asserted that the Punjabi actor and singer was not involved in the casting of "Sardaar Ji 3". "I don't know the details, but casting someone isn't the decision of the actor. I don't know how it went, but I know that uske andar desh prem bahut zyada hai (He loves his country too much). Jo log dekh paayenge unke andar ke sach ko, unko ye samajh mein aa jaayega (People who can see the truth, will understand)," he said.
