Shares of Urban Company came under sharp selling pressure on December 15, falling nearly 6 percent after the expiry of the company’s three-month shareholder lock-in period. The stock dropped to an intraday low of ₹121.40, marking its lowest level since listing in September.

3% Equity Worth ₹535 Crore Becomes Tradeable
According to Nuvama Alternative & Quantitative Research, approximately 4.15 crore shares, or 3 percent of Urban Company’s total equity, became eligible for trading as the lock-in ended. Based on the previous closing price of ₹128.84, these shares are valued at nearly ₹535 crore.
Market participants often view lock-in expiries with caution, as they raise concerns about potential supply overhang. However, analysts clarified that lock-in expiry does not mean immediate selling—it merely allows eligible shareholders to trade their holdings if they choose to do so.
