On Tuesday, the company which is into jewellery making as well as watch retailer reported its second quarterly results ending September for FY20, which came in lower than estimated. Net profit for the quarter increased by 1.9% to Rs. 320 crore, while revenue surged 0.7% to Rs. 4435 crore during the quarter under review.

Margin at the company increased to 11.6% yoy from the previous recorded figure of 10.6% in the same period a year ago.

The lag in estimates came because of lower sales in the jewellery segment which recorded growth of just 11-13% in the H2FY20 in comparison to H2FY19.
