Lenskart IPO Lock-In Expiry Triggers Block Deal Reports and Share Price Decline

Lenskart's six-month IPO lock-in period expired, freeing over 104.7 crore shares worth more than Rs 51,000 crore for trading. This has sparked reports of a potential block deal involving around 4 percent equity, with investors possibly selling shares at a discount near Rs 470 apiece. The stock declined between 2 to 4 percent amid concerns over increased supply pressure, though analysts note the company's fundamentals remain unchanged. Early investors, including institutional backers, may use this opportunity to monetize holdings.
