MK Sons Fine Jewels IPO Opens Oct 28: Price Band, Issue Split and Financials

The MK Sons Fine Jewels IPO opens on October 28, and it is a small, profitable jewellery retailer asking investors to fund its next couple of stores. The Mumbai-based company has fixed a price band of ₹153 to ₹162 a share and wants to raise ₹275.4 crore. Bidding closes on October 30, and anchor investors get their one-day window on October 27, Moneycontrol reports.

At the top of the band, Moneycontrol puts the company’s valuation at about ₹912 crore.

How the MK Sons Fine Jewels IPO is split

The issue covers 1.7 crore shares in all. Of these, 1.36 crore are new shares worth ₹220.32 crore at the upper band, and that money goes to the company. The remaining 34 lakh shares, worth ₹55.08 crore, are being sold by promoter Ramchand Murlidhar Raimalani through an offer for sale, so that slice goes to him, not the business. By our arithmetic, roughly four-fifths of the issue is fresh capital, so most of what investors pay goes into the business.

The BSE issue page confirms the mainboard listing, a face value of ₹10 and a market lot of 91 shares. One lot at ₹162 works out to ₹14,742. Aryaman Financial Services is the sole book-running lead manager and Bigshare Services is the registrar.

What the company does with the money

According to Livemint, the fresh issue proceeds will pay for a new showroom in Maharashtra, an expansion of an existing showroom in Gujarat, repayment or prepayment of some borrowings, and general corporate purposes.

That is a small footprint to build on. Incorporated in 2012, MK Sons designs, makes and sells gold, diamond and cubic zirconia jewellery through five company-owned showrooms in Mumbai and Ahmedabad. Livemint says it carries more than 19,442 SKUs, with pieces starting at about ₹11,000 and running up to high-value bridal sets. One more store and a bigger one in Gujarat is steady growth, not a land grab.

The numbers behind the pitch

Here is where the story gets interesting. Moneycontrol reports that FY26 revenue rose 53.4% to ₹538.7 crore from ₹351.3 crore, while profit more than doubled to ₹51.8 crore from ₹23.3 crore. For the June 2026 quarter, profit was ₹15 crore on revenue of ₹101.4 crore.

A few things stand out when we run the figures ourselves:

• The FY26 net profit margin is about 9.6%.
• The June quarter margin is higher still, at roughly 14.8%.
• June-quarter revenue is below a quarter of FY26’s total, so sales can swing a lot between quarters, and one quarter tells you little.
• At ₹912 crore, the price works out to about 17.6 times FY26 profit.

All four points are our own calculations from the reported numbers, not figures from the offer document.

The margin jump is the question we would want answered in the red herring prospectus. Jewellers carry a lot of gold as inventory, so movements in the gold price can feed into reported profit, and that kind of gain does not repeat on its own. The prospectus should show how much of the improvement came from operations. With only five stores, the business also depends heavily on two cities.
