Kaynes Technology share price: Kaynes Technology India share price slipped nearly 6 percent on Tuesday, November 18, after the expiry of its shareholder lock-in period.
With the end of this restriction, around 11.6 million shares of Kaynes Technology India have now become available for trading as the one-and-a-half-year and longer lock-in duration has concluded.
According to a note from Nuvama Alternative and Quantitative Research, the shares released for trading represent 20 percent of the company’s outstanding equity. The end of a lock-in period does not imply that these shares will immediately be offloaded in the open market; it only means they are now permitted to be traded if shareholders choose to do so.
Based on Monday’s closing price, the total value of the shares that are now free to trade amounts to ₹7,233 crore.
A lock-in period refers to a fixed duration during which certain shareholders-typically promoters, pre-IPO investors, or anchor investors-are restricted from selling their shares. This framework is designed to ensure stability in the stock after listing. Once the lock-in ends, these shares become eligible for sale, which may sometimes create near-term volatility depending on investor sentiment and supply dynamics.
