Studds Accessories IPO 10 Key Risks To Consider

1. Inability to sustain or improve the Studds and SMK brands could dent sales, financials, and brand value.
2. Heavy dependence on two-wheeler helmets, which accounted for about 92 to 93 per cent of sales in recent periods, makes performance vulnerable to motorcycle demand.
3. Disruptions at manufacturing facilities could materially impact operations, cash flows, and results.
4. Delays or failures in obtaining third-party certifications may push out deliveries and disrupt operations.
5. Underutilisation of capacity and ineffective use of expansions could weigh on prospects and performance.
6. Lack of directly comparable listed peers in India or globally complicates performance and valuation benchmarking.
7. Quality control lapses, domestic or overseas, could trigger recalls, repairs, buybacks, or liability claims.
8. Benefits from the Bikerz US Inc. acquisition, or future acquisitions, may not materialise as expected.
9. Inability to secure, maintain, or renew required licenses and approvals could affect operations and results.
10. Labour-related risks such as strikes, work stoppages, or wage pressures could disrupt manufacturing.
