Shares to Come Under Intense Scrutiny
International Gemmological Institute India Ltd. is poised to be a key stock to watch on Monday, December 22, as its significant shareholder lock-in period expires. This event marks the potential release of a substantial portion of the company's equity into the open market, a development that could significantly influence its stock performance.
Unlocking Vast Share Capital
Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research reports that as many as 244.4 million shares will become available for trading. This figure represents a considerable 57% of the company's total outstanding equity. The one-year shareholder lock-in period, a common practice after an Initial Public Offering (IPO), concludes today. Based on the closing price on Friday, the total value of these freely tradable shares amounts to an impressive ₹7,735 crore. It is crucial to note that the expiry of a lock-in period signifies eligibility to trade, not an automatic sale of all available shares.
