The stock hit the 10% upper circuit on 22 Oct and is up about 16.5% from its 21 Oct close of Rs 321.10 at the day high. The International Gemological Institute (India) reported a 43% jump in Q2 FY27 net profit to Rs 185.8 crore.<\/em><\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#F0F9FF;border-left:4px solid #2E7D32;border-radius:6px;padding:14px 18px;margin:18px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;color:#1F4E79;font-size:14px;\"><strong>Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:8px 0 0;\">IGI share price is rallying because the Q2 FY27 results were strong on every line, with consolidated profit up 43% to Rs 185.8 crore and revenue up 31% to Rs 398 crore. The EBITDA margin widened by 340 basis points to 61.4%, and report volumes grew 26% to 4.35 million. The stock moved up as much as 6% to Rs 374.30 on Friday after a 10% upper circuit on Thursday, and it was at Rs 366.75 around midday. These are intraday numbers and they can change by the close.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>IGI share price has had a strong two sessions, and the move follows a clear trigger, which is a quarter where profit grew faster than revenue. A company that grades diamonds, lab-grown stones and gemstones earns on volumes and pricing, so a rise in the EBITDA margin shows how much of each rupee of sales turned into operating profit.<\/p>\n<p>This article on IGI share price covers today&#8217;s move, the Q2 numbers, the segment trends, valuation, the technical levels quoted by a brokerage and the risks.

Natural diamonds grew only in single digits, so the stock is increasingly tied to how fast lab-grown demand keeps expanding. The coloured gemstone jump comes from American Gemological Laboratories, which the company acquired in February 2026, so the base is not like for like.<\/p>\n<p>Managing Director and CEO Tehmasp Printer described the company as category-neutral by design. In plain terms, IGI grades whatever the market buys, so it can earn from lab-grown, natural and gemstone demand. That reduces the risk that a price war in one category hurts the grading business, though falling lab-grown prices could still affect the number and value of reports.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGI_Share_Price_Valuation\"><\/span><strong>IGI Share Price Valuation<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\">\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">IGI share price: valuation measure<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;background:#0A0E1A;color:#FFFFFF;\">Figure<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Trailing EPS (data provider figure)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 15.40<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">P\/E at Rs 366.75<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 23.8 times (my calculation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Industry P\/E (data provider figure)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">34.85 times<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Book value per share<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Rs 40.51<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Price to book at Rs 366.75<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">About 9.1 times (my calculation)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Return on equity<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">38.02%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">Debt to equity<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:8px;border:1px solid #DDDDDD;\">0.09<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>At about 23.8 times trailing earnings the IGI share price sits below the industry multiple of 34.85, with a return on equity of 38.02% and almost no debt.

DSIJ lists the 52-week high as Rs 381.30, which makes Rs 366.75 about 3.8% lower (my calculation). Weekly candle data shows a period high of Rs 388.30 in the week of 25 May 2026, so sources differ. Check the exchange data for the exact high before using it as a trigger level.<\/p>\n<p>The 52-week low is Rs 295.95 on DSIJ and Rs 287.00 on weekly candle data. Either way, the IGI share price is about 24% to 28% above its low (my calculation), and the 12 Oct close of Rs 308.60 means the stock is about 18.8% higher in under two weeks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Risks_for_the_IGI_Share_Price\"><\/span><strong>Risks for the IGI Share Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Lab-grown price deflation.<\/strong> If prices of lab-grown stones keep falling, jewellers may shift demand, and the value of grading fees depends on volumes more than on stone prices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Concentration in a few product lines.<\/strong> Lab-grown loose stones and jewellery are the main growth drivers, so a slowdown there would affect the numbers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Valuation after a fast move.<\/strong> A 16.5% gain in two sessions leaves less room for disappointment if the next quarter is softer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acquisition integration.<\/strong> The AGL acquisition lifted gemstone numbers, and integration costs or slower growth could change that trend.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Global demand and trade rules.<\/strong> US holiday ordering and tariffs affect jewellery demand, which feeds into grading volumes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Watch_Next_on_the_IGI_Share_Price\"><\/span><strong>What to Watch Next on the IGI Share Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>The closing price against Rs 366.75 and the intraday high of Rs 374.30<\/li>\n<li>Whether the IGI share price holds the breakout zone near Rs 345<\/li>\n<li>The exact 52-week high on the exchange website<\/li>\n<li>Delivery volumes after two high-volume sessions<\/li>\n<li>Brokerage notes and target changes after the Q2 results<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IGI share price is up about 16.5% in two sessions at the day high of Rs 374.30 after a quarter in which profit rose 43% and the EBITDA margin reached 61.4%.
