Senco Gold Shares Rise as Q4 Profit Nearly Doubles to ₹94 Cr; EBITDA Margin Improves to 9.2%
Shares of Senco Gold rose 2.11% to ₹388.85 after the company posted a sharp rise in earnings for the fourth quarter ended March 2025. The company’s net profit nearly doubled — rising 94.1% year-on-year (YoY) to ₹94 crore — driven by strong revenue growth and improved operational performance. Revenue from operations for Q4 stood at ₹1,377.71 crore, up 21.1% compared to Q4 FY24.
Profit before tax (PBT) increased by 62.4% YoY to ₹85.08 crore, while EBITDA rose 44.8% to ₹127.01 crore. The EBITDA margin improved by 150 basis points to 9.2%, reflecting better cost efficiency and higher value sales.
Operating expenses for the quarter grew by 19.2% to ₹1,250.69 crore. The cost of materials consumed increased 21.6% to ₹1,146.46 crore, and employee benefit expenses rose 27.1% to ₹35.65 crore.
For the full fiscal year FY25, Senco reported a 20.7% increase in revenue to ₹6,328.07 crore. However, net profit declined by 12% to ₹159.31 crore due to a one-time impact from a customs duty cut in July 2024. Adjusted PAT for FY25 stood at ₹207.9 crore, a YoY growth of 10.1%.

Suvankar Sen, Managing Director & CEO, highlighted the company’s robust Q4 performance, with same-store sales growth (SSSG) at 18% and a 21% volume growth in diamond jewellery, which translated to a 38% rise in value terms. Company-owned outlets, contributing 64% of retail revenues, posted a 21% growth, while the franchise segment, contributing 36%, grew by 28% YoY.
The company opened five new showrooms in Q4, across COCO, FOCO, and FOFO models. Senco also saw a surge in old gold exchanges, which made up 40% of total sales, with 61% of that coming from new, non-Senco customers.
Senco Gold, a prominent national jewellery retailer, offers a wide range of products including gold, diamond, Polki, Platinum, Kundan, Jadau, silver, and both precious and semi-precious stones.

Gold, Silver extend retreat as stronger dollar pressures bullion
Precious metals extended their retreat for a second consecutive week as a firmer U.S. dollar and fading expectations of near-term interest-rate cuts from the Federal Reserve weighed on investor appetite for bullion.
In India, gold futures on the Multi Commodity Exchange settled below the ₹1.60-lakh mark per 10 grams at the close of trading on March 14, silver futures declined about 1% for the day, reflecting persistent selling pressure across the metals complex.
Global markets echoed the weakness. Spot gold slipped more than 1%, struggling to hold above $5,050 an ounce, while spot silver tumbled roughly 4% to trade near $80.50 an ounce.
The pullback comes as the strengthening dollar reduces the appeal of dollar-denominated commodities. At the same time, investors are recalibrating expectations that the Federal Reserve will move quickly to ease monetary policy, diminishing one of the key catalysts that had propelled bullion prices higher earlier this year.
Together, the firmer currency and shifting rate outlook have triggered broad profit-taking in precious metals, pushing both gold and silver to their second straight weekly decline.
