PNGS Reva Diamond Jewelery IPO Review

Brokerage firm SBI Securities has given a ‘neutral’ rating to the PNGS Reva Diamond Jewelery IPO, saying that the company is a structurally differentiated play on India’s organized diamond jewelery retail segment.

“Unlike gold-centric peers, whose margins are constrained by commodity-linked revenues, Reva’s 100% diamond focus generates PAT margins of ~23% (FY25) — among the highest in Indian jewelery retail.

However, PNGS Reva’s business model is highly dependent on its promoters, as 32 out of 34 stores are operated under the Shop-in-Shop (SIS) format. Any unfavorable modifications to the franchise or trademark agreements could significantly impact Reva’s customer footfall, sales, and overall operations.

At the upper price band of ₹386, the issue is valued at a P/E multiple of 20.6x based on post-issue capital. We maintain a NEUTRAL view on the IPO and intend to observe its performance post-listing,” the firm said.

Meanwhile, brokerage firm Swastika Investmart has recommended investors to ‘avoid’ for short-term or listing gains.

“The business has demonstrated consistent revenue growth along with improving profitability on a year-on-year basis. On the basis of recent financials, the issue initially appears to be aggressively valued.

However, considering its superior EBITDA margins and stronger operating metrics compared to industry peers, the IPO valuation seems justified. The IPO may be avoided for short-term or listing gains, for investors who prioritize geographic diversification and predictable margin stability.
