Kalyan Jewellers Share Price Rises After MSCI Upgrade
Share price of Kalyan Jewellers rose as much as 2.6%, the highest level since Oct. 22.
Share price of Kalyan Jewellers India Ltd. rose for a second consecutive session on Thursday when MSCI announced the company's upgrade to mid-cap from small-cap segment.
Along with Kalyan Jewellers, Voltas Ltd., and Bombay Stock Exchange Ltd. were also moved to mid-cap segment of the MSCI Emerging Markets Index and no Indian stocks were removed from MSCI Emerging Markets Index in the current review.
Thursday's gains come on top of 7% advance on Wednesday.
During the September quarter, the jewellery retailer reported consolidated revenue growth of approximately 37% compared to the same period last year. The company's India operations posted revenue growth of 39%, with same-store sales growth of approximately 23% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, according to a business update.
"Customs duty reduction on gold imports, announced during the Union Budget, resulted in significantly higher footfalls from the last week of July until the end of August, mostly offsetting the impact of 14 days of Shradh (when sales are muted) during the quarter and extreme volatility in gold prices," the company said.
