Analyst View

Goldiam’s fortune changed when it became one of the first movers to grow and distribute lab-grown diamonds (LGD), which contributes close to 20 per cent of its overall topline, according to Monarch NetWorth Capital (MNC) Research.

Rahul Dani, an analyst at Monarch NetWorth Capital, pointed out that the company has a presence both in natural and lab-based diamonds, catering to the US, which is the most prominent jewellery market in the world. Its innovative strategy to focus on direct retail and e-commerce platforms has paid rich dividends with robust growth in its margin profile, he said. 

Dani estimates Goldiam's to clock revenue growth at a CAGR of 12 per cent over between FY22 and FY25.

Its operating margin is expected to improve by 690 basis points to 25.8 per cent, according to the brokerage, which has a target price of Rs 185 per share for the stock -- implying a potential upside of 32 per cent from its current level.
