Urban Company share price (NSE: URBANCO), the newly-listed home services provider, will remain in focus on Thursday, October 16, as its one-month shareholder lock-in period concludes. This marks an important post-listing milestone for investors since the company’s successful debut earlier this year.
With the lock-in period ending, nearly 3% of Urban Company’s outstanding equity, valued at around ₹700 crore based on Wednesday’s closing price, will become eligible for trading. However, the expiry does not imply that all these shares will be sold immediately; it merely allows shareholders to trade them if they wish.
Ahead of the lock-in expiry, Urban Company’s stock had its second-best trading session since listing, rising over 11% on Wednesday to close at ₹167.25. The rally came after a five-day losing streak that had pushed the stock below its listing price of ₹162.25.
Urban Company had listed at a strong premium to its IPO issue price of ₹103 and surged to a post-listing high of ₹201 within days, nearly double its issue price, before seeing some correction in subsequent weeks.
Wednesday also saw heightened market activity, with 3.2 crore shares changing hands, the highest in nine sessions. Of these, 42 lakh shares were marked for delivery, indicating investor participation ahead of the lock-in expiry.
