Jewelry. April also witnessed double-digits growth in Jewelry. 2) In FY18, the

Valuation view:
There are minor adjustments to our FY18E/FY19E EPS. There
has been strong revival as well as market share gain in Jewellery. Management
is confident of healthy growth after GST implementation as well. EPS growth is
not as high as 15%/20% EBITDA growth for FY18/FY19 due to an increase in
income tax rate over FY17 levels. Valuations at 40.7x FY19E are rich. Maintain
Neutral
with a revised target price of INR505 (valued at 41.4x Mar’2019 EPS, in
line with three-year average multiple).
