Review By Dilip Davda on October 11, 2023
• WCL is a digital consumer centric retail platform providing range of personal care for men and women.
• Based on FY24 annualized earnings, the issue appears fully priced.
• Its compare with Nykaa is nothing but an eyewash.
• Well-informed/cash surplus investors may park funds for long-term rewards.
