Vaibhav Jewellers is a South Indian-based jewelry retail chain. It has a focus on rural and urban markets, with 13 stores currently. It is also planning to expand with eight new stores. The company offers diverse product designs. and it has reported consistent financial performance.
However, this business is subject to price fluctuations for raw materials and requires high working capital as well.
Secondly, it operates in a very competitive market.
The issue is coming at a P/E valuation of 43.69x which seems fully priced. So considering all these factors and current market sentiments, we will avoid this IPO. One may consider other listed peers for better opportunities.
