BlueStone Jewellery’s ₹1,541cr IPO is gaining attention, yet just 40% subscribed heading into Day 2, with most traction from institutions.
The jeweler boasts 275+ stores and strong digital reach, but its recent ₹222cr net loss and pricey 4.5x EV/Sales at the upper band raise eyebrows versus listed peers like Titan. Customer loyalty and revenue growth stand out, but heavy expansion and inventory consumption mean risk.
Analyst Views & Market Sentiment:
-Strengths- Leadership in omni-channel, design-driven approach, expanding footprint, robust revenue growth, marquee investors
-Risks- Elevated losses, rising inventory, negative returns (RoNW -24.5%, RoE -34.5%), dependence on successful scaling of newly opened stores
-Valuation- At the upper band, 4.5x EV/Sales is costlier than listed peers (ex: Titan, Kalyan)
-Subscription Advice- Large institutionals more confident; retail mildly interested; high-net-worth/corporate investors are cautious.
-Recommendation- Several analysts (including SBI Securities) recommend “SUBSCRIBE” for the long term, citing growth momentum and market positioning, but urge awareness of near-term financial risks and post-listing volatility.
