P/E Ratio Comparison with Peers
Wakefit posted a loss in FY24 and FY25, therefore its P/E is not meaningful. However, based on H1 FY26 PAT, the company is marginally profitable.

Risk Factors of Wakefit Innovations IPO
1. Consistent Losses in Prior Years
The company posted losses in FY23, FY24, and FY25, however shown profits for 6 months ended Sep-25. Profitability is still not stable and depends heavily on scale and operating efficiency. In our earlier IPOs we have seen several loss making companies posting profits just before they go for IPOs too. Investors should be cautious about this aspect in such IPOs.
2. High Marketing and Store Expansion Costs
Large investments in offline expansion may impact margins if store performance does not meet expectations.
3. Intense Competition
Wakefit competes with:
- Pepperfry
- IKEA
- AmazonBasics furniture
- Urban Ladder
High competition may limit pricing power.
4. Customer Sentiment-Dependent Industry
Furniture is a discretionary purchase, making the business vulnerable to economic downturns.
5. Limited International Presence
Wakefit’s growth is currently limited to the domestic market; any expansion may require heavy capital expenditure.
