  • Decent gains: The stock has moved up more than ~21.25% from its IPO offering price of USD 4.00 per share.
  • Interest rate Risk: WBUY is prone to market fluctuations in all the capital markets that the company invests its investments in as the previous year has been a downward trending year for both fixed income and equity markets. Ongoing recession fear in the global market could keep the capital market and money marker quite volatile near-term.
