Bajaj Housing Finance Shares slides 6%: Find out why are investors worried?

Bajaj Housing Finance shares took a hit on Thursday (December 12), shedding over 6 per cent. One of the primary factors contributing to this recent dip in the share price of the company is the expiration of the three-month shareholder lock-in period.

The company’s stock closed at Rs 132.93, marking a decline of 5.99 per cent.

Let’s take a look at the reasons behind this drop:

The Lock-In Period Ends

A major factor to the sudden decline of the company’s stock is the ending of the three-month shareholder lock-in period today. This event released 12.5 crore shares, or 2 per cent of Bajaj Housing Finance’s total outstanding equity, into the market.
