Swiggy shares took a hard hit this morning, plunging over 7% after the lock-in period for 83% of its shares officially ended. That means a large chunk of early investors, founders, and employees are now free to sell, and it looks like many didn’t waste time.
The stock dropped to ₹298.85, marking its lowest level since listing. For a company once compared to Zomato for scale and potential, the timing couldn’t be worse.
Here’s what’s behind the fall and what the market’s reacting to:
No earnings miss. No regulatory trouble. Just a flood of shares hitting the market, and Swiggy’s chart felt it instantly.
Bulls need a miracle bounce to keep this from spiralling further. Otherwise, it’s damage control mode.
Could the stock recover from here? Sure, but it’ll take more than hope.
Watch ₹298. If that holds, bargain hunters might step in. But if it cracks, we’re likely heading lower before we go higher.
On the flip side, if Swiggy manages to close back above ₹311.90 this week, that could signal some stability returning, though a full recovery back toward ₹351 might take time.
Swiggy just entered post-IPO reality. The lock-in is gone, and the free float just exploded. For now, the stock is struggling to find a floor, and momentum favours sellers.
Long-term investors may see this as a reset opportunity. But for short-term traders, caution is the only trade until the dust settles.
