8. Our View / Recommendation
Analyst Recommendation: SUBSCRIBE
Sushil Finance Research Stance & Valuation View
Shankesh Jewellers merits a Subscribe on the strength of its earnings trajectory, though the pace of improvement warrants a closer look before sizing an allocation.
PAT has grown nearly 9x over two years from Rs. 12.82 crore (FY24) to Rs. 106.68 crore (FY26) while EBITDA margin expanded dramatically from 2.71% to 9.68%, and RoNW climbed to an exceptional 50.94% in FY26.
This kind of acceleration in an asset-light, job work-based B2B model is plausible: operating leverage compounds quickly when fixed costs are minimal and volumes scale with an established client base including several listed jewelry majors.
