Research reports
Equitymaster has issued a video research report in which the fundamentals of the Company are well explained. It is stated “Forget Titan and Focus on this Smallcap Jewellery Stock. A 30% fall from the peak, offers a good opportunity to BUY this niche diamond exporting company. While USA is in recession, is it time to focus on this USA focussed Jewellery stock which has corrected 30% from the peak.”
Monarch Networth Capital has issued a research report dated 2nd November 2022 in which the fundamentals of the Company are explained. It is stated as follows:
“We present an investment idea on Goldiam International Limited, a thinly researched stock with a fair value of Rs.185. Fortified by more than three decades of experience, the company is a leading supplier of exquisitely designed and luxurious diamond jewellery. The company has become the manufacturer of choice for many leading global branded retailers, departmental stores and wholesalers across America. Goldiam’s fortune changed when it became one of the first movers to grow and distribute lab-grown diamonds (LGD), which today contributes close to 20% of its overall topline. LGD has immense potential as we move towards an alternative to natural diamonds“.
The Valuation & Risks are summed up as follows:
“Goldiam has a presence both in natural and lab-based diamonds, catering to the US, the most prominent jewellery market in the world. The company’s innovative strategy to focus on direct retail and e-commerce platforms has paid rich dividends with robust growth in its margin profile. Its decision to move towards lab-based diamonds early has made it one of the most preferred vendors to US retailers. We expect the company to post revenue growth of 12% CAGR over FY22-25E to Rs.9,775mn, with lab-based diamonds to grow at 42% and natural diamonds at 2% over the same period. EBITDA over the same period is expected to grow at 25% CAGR to Rs.2,525mn, while OPM is expected to improve by 690bps to 25.8%. PAT is expected to grow at 25% CAGR to Rs. 2,065mn. We currently value the stock at 11x Sept 24 EPS of Rs.16 to arrive at our fair value target of Rs.185, a potential upside of 48% from current levels.”
