15 Stocks’ Shareholding Lock-Ins Ending in February Including Swiggy, Ola Electric

February is set to be a crucial month for several companies as their shareholder lock-in periods come to an end. A news report highlights that as many as 15 companies will see a combined 292.53 crore shares become eligible for trading in the open market. While this does not necessarily mean all these shares will be offloaded, their availability could impact market movements and investor sentiment.

Understanding Shareholder Lock-In Periods

A shareholder lock-in period is a stipulated timeframe during which certain shares, typically those held by promoters, institutional investors, or pre-IPO stakeholders, cannot be sold in the open market. This mechanism aims to prevent excessive volatility post-listing and instils confidence among investors. Once the lock-in period expires, these shares become available for trading, which can potentially influence stock prices depending on demand and supply dynamics.
