While Awfis’ shares have delivered a negative return of 3.71% over the last month at the current market price, it has gained 56.49% over the last year.

In Q3 FY25, the company’s operating EBITDA surged 59% YoY to INR 107 Cr, while its EBITDA margin expanded to 33.8% from 30.6% in the year-ago quarter.

Operating revenue grew on both a year-on-year (YoY) and quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis. The company’s revenue from operations stood at INR 317.72 Cr in Q3 FY25, marking a 44% YoY and 9% QoQ increase. Meanwhile, total expenses for the quarter rose 37% YoY and 10% QoQ to INR 317.18 Cr.

The stock’s dip aligns with the bearish sentiment in the broader market due to persistent selling pressure of FII amidst global uncertainties and escalating tariff tensions inflicted by US president Donald Trump.

Factors contributing to FII’s selling include rising US bond yields, strengthening US dollar and weakening rupee making Indian stocks less attractive to foreign investors, hence leading to large outflows. Furthermore, less-than-expected earnings from Indian companies across sectors such as consumer staples, automobiles, and building materials have compounded investor concerns.

Recovering from most of the day’s lows, benchmark equity indices BSE Sensex and Nifty 50 were trading with smaller losses of 0.14% and 0.16%, at 76,188.32 and 23,035.00 points, respectively.

Founded in 2015 by Amit Ramani, Awfis has evolved from a coworking network into a tech-enabled workspace solutions platform, catering to freelancers, startups, SMEs, large corporates, and MNCs. Its counterpart coworking company WeWork India also filed its draft paper for IPO earlier this month.
