Analysts at Ventura assigned the “subscribe” rating for the IPO. In its note, the brokerage said that Motisons Jewellers is strategically positioning itself for continued growth by aiming to expand its retail network in a cost-efficient manner, leveraging the strength of the ‘Motisons’ brand. The company’s expansion strategy extends beyond its current footprint, with a focus on addressing existing gaps in its product and brand portfolio to reach a wider consumer base.
However, the analyst warned that all four showrooms are currently concentrated in a single geography, namely Jaipur, and Rajasthan. While this geographical concentration has its advantages, such as a strong local brand presence, any adverse developments affecting this region could potentially have a significant impact on the company’s business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.
