Share Prices Volatile as Lock-in Periods End for Two Companies
Imagine some shareholders in HDB Financial Services and Sambhv Steel Tubes couldn't sell their shares for a while after the companies started selling stock to the public.
This is called a lock-in period.
When these periods ended, more shares became available.
HDB Financial Services' stock went up, while Sambhv Steel Tubes' stock went down.
This can happen because the number of shares available to trade changes.
Investors watch this closely to see how it affects the stock prices.
Meanwhile, HDB Financial Services reported a small drop in their recent profits, even though their lending business is doing well.
HDB Financial Services shares increased by 7% due to the lock-in period ending.
Sambhv Steel Tubes shares decreased by nearly 6% following the end of its lock-in period.
Approximately 23 million HDB Financial Services shares and 10 million Sambhv Steel Tubes shares became available.
Lock-in periods restrict shareholders from selling shares after a company's IPO.
HDB Financial Services reported a 2% decrease in net profit for Q1 FY26.
