The full read
Motisons Jewellers closed FY26 with a net profit of ₹63.7 crore, a 48% jump from the previous year. Yet, the quality of that earnings growth is skewed by a non-recurring event. The company pocketed ₹35.1 crore in warrant subscription money after institutional investors walked away from 82.7 lakh warrants. Without this windfall, the profit growth narrative changes significantly. Total revenue rose a modest 6% to ₹489.5 crore, signaling sluggish organic growth. On the positive side, Motisons has managed its balance sheet, cutting debt and shoring up equity to ₹499 crore. However, a warning light remains in the form of high inventory, which hit ₹544.5 crore. That figure surpasses the total revenue for the year, leaving the company with a significant amount of capital tied up in stock. Auditors signed off on the results, but the true test for the company is whether it can maintain its cost-management gains without the help of forfeited warrant cash.
