Building Materials Sector Stocks

What captured our attention

While the gems and jewellery space was going through its own set of challenges (in the backdrop of fall out of major jewellery players) we looked into Goldiam Int. given its technology expertise and product offering (lab-grown diamonds), the client market (100% export), superior balance sheet with net cash position, history of dividend payouts and buy-backs. Aspects like superior board, management too held meaningful importance.

Valuation Discrepancy Insights

At a market cap of ~Rs 12bn at time of initiation, Goldiam International was under-researched and under-valued given its growth potential and the promising US market opportunity.
