@DeepikaBhardwaj But mam I think, only the call records in themselves doesn’t prove anything. I mean, its just a start of the evidence. There need to be other evidence as well. They need to be collected for a long time substantial enough to prove them.
I visited DMart yesterday, and it was a usual Sunday at DMart, long queues, crowd everything. Even people purchase Pizza and Popcorns they offer. I bought 6300 worth of groceries and cosmetics. An elderly couple ahead of me bought 12500 worth of items.
I still go to Dmart once per quarter to load up discounted groceries. But at the same time I exited DMart in 2023 as a shareholder.

Senco Gold Q4FY26 #SENCO:
Senco delivered a strong FY26 with revenue of ₹8,430 cr, +33% YoY, while Q4 revenue stood around ₹1,997 cr. Q4 EBITDA was ₹274 cr and PAT ₹157 cr. FY26 EBITDA margin was 11.5%, but management guided sustainable EBITDA margin at 7.5–7.8%, implying part of FY26 margin strength was price-led.
Key numbers:
Coins/bullion were only ~6% of revenue, so growth was largely jewellery-led. Old gold exchange rose sharply to 44% of FY26 revenue and ~50% in Q4. Stud ratio stood at ~11%. Diamond value grew 32% YoY, volume 9% YoY. ATV increased ~30% YoY. Inventory rose 61% YoY to ₹5,296 cr, with inventory days at 186–188.
Guidance:
FY27 revenue growth 18–20%, implied revenue ₹10,000–10,500 cr. EBITDA margin 7.5–7.8%, PAT margin 4–4.5%. Store additions 18–20, franchise-led. Inventory days target 160–180. Old gold exchange expected at 50–55% of business.
Positives:
Strong jewellery-led growth, old gold exchange becoming a key moat, good diamond growth, strong Akshaya Tritiya/Poila Boishakh performance with ~66–67% growth, and expansion focus on East, North and Central India.
Watchouts:
High inventory days, weak free cash flow, margin normalization from FY26 highs, low stud ratio vs leaders, competition-led discounting, and customs duty reversal risk if duty is cut later.
Final view:
Thesis Neutral to Mildly Strengthening. Senco has brand strength and growth visibility, but investor conviction depends on reducing inventory days, sustaining margins without price gains, and improving studded jewellery mix.
D. P. Abhushan Q4FY26 #DPABHUSHAN:
DP Abhushan delivered a strong Q4 with revenue ₹1,338.9 cr, +87% YoY, EBITDA ₹73 cr, +72% YoY, and PAT ₹50.6 cr, +101% YoY. FY26 revenue stood at ₹4,070.3 cr, +23% YoY, while PAT rose 88% to ₹211.8 cr.
Key numbers:
FY26 EBITDA margin improved to 7.61%, PAT margin to 5.20%. SSSG was around 20% YoY. Revenue/store was ~₹339 cr, revenue/sq. ft. ~₹7.6 lakh, average ticket size ~₹1.27 lakh, inventory turnover 4.7x, conversion rate 82–83%.
Product mix:
Wedding jewellery contributes ~60%, festival/lightweight ~25%, gifting ~15%. Old gold exchange is 35–40% of sales. FY26 gold revenue grew 21%, silver grew 168%, but diamonds declined 5%. Q4 silver grew 333%, diamonds grew 38%.
Guidance:
FY27 revenue target ~₹4,800 cr, FY28 ~₹5,500 cr. FY27 EBITDA margin guidance 6–6.5%, gross margin 10–11%. FY30 target: 51 stores, 25–30% annual topline growth, and EBITDA margin 8–8.5%. FY27 store additions likely 3–4 COCO stores + 1 franchise pilot, depending on market conditions.
Positives:
Strong PAT growth, healthy SSSG, strong wedding demand, high store productivity, strong silver growth, old gold exchange traction, and digital/omnichannel push.
Watchouts:
FY26 growth was largely value-led, not volume-led; management said volumes declined around 20% due to high gold prices. Inventory intensity remains high, with each new store needing ₹40–60 cr inventory. Cash flow may stay weak while expansion continues. QIP delayed; expansion pace moderated.
Final view:
Thesis Neutral to Mildly Strengthening. Brand and profitability are strong, but future conviction depends on volume recovery, margin stability, inventory control, and disciplined multi-state expansion.
