Ather Energy Shares: ₹13,780 Crore Worth Of Equity Set To Unlock As 7.66 Crore Shares Become Tradable

Ather Energy shares are in focus ahead of 5 November, when the shareholder lock-in period for a significant portion of the company's equity comes to an end. According to the available research, 7.66 crore shares will become eligible for trading, accounting for 21% of the company's outstanding equity.

The shares are subject to a lock-in period of around 18 months or longer. Their release comes after a strong rally in the company's stock, which has gained in six of the last seven trading sessions following its September-quarter results.

However, the expiry does not mean shareholders will necessarily sell their holdings. It simply makes the shares eligible for trading in the open market.

Ather Energy Reports First-Ever Quarterly Profit

Ather Energy's September-quarter results marked a significant improvement in its financial performance. The company reported its first-ever quarterly net profit, compared with a substantial loss in the corresponding period last year.

Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) also turned positive during the quarter, compared with an EBITDA loss in the year-ago period.

The return to quarterly profitability, alongside strong revenue growth, provides the backdrop to the upcoming shareholder lock-in expiry. However, the number of shares becoming eligible for trading should not be confused with the number of shares that will actually enter the market.
