Inventurus Knowledge Solutions shares took a sharp 4% hit in early trade on Thursday as investors offloaded stock worth Rs 499 crore. The reason? Over 10 crore shares just became free to trade following the end of a six-month lock-in period.
A Surge in Supply, But Who’s Selling?
While official names haven’t been confirmed, a CNBC TV-18 report suggests that individual investors are likely behind this sell-off. The deal took place at a floor price of Rs 1,659 per share, about 2.5% below Wednesday’s close of Rs 1,703.
Reports indicate that around 1.5% of the company’s outstanding shares were part of the trade. When such a large quantity hits the market in one shot, it typically drags the price down—regardless of how well the company’s performing.
Promoters Still Hold Strong Ground
As of the March quarter, promoter entities like the Nistha Jhunjhunwala Discretionary Trust, Aryavir Jhunjhunwala Discretionary Trust, and Aryaman Jhunjhunwala Discretionary Trust each held 16.37% in Inventurus Knowledge Solutions. Several individual promoters also hold stakes.
None of these entities have been identified as sellers—yet.
Q4 FY25: All Green on the Financial Front
Ironically, this share dip comes right after the company’s best quarterly numbers to date. In Q4 FY25:
- Revenue rose 17% YoY to Rs 724 crore
- Net profit jumped 133% to Rs 147.8 crore
- EBITDA rose 68% to Rs 226 crore
- Margins improved to over 31%
The growth was powered by five major deals, including three platform-based contracts. Operational efficiencies and new client wins also boosted performance.
For the full FY25, Inventurus Knowledge Solutions clocked:
- 47% rise in revenue to Rs 2,664 crore
- 31% jump in net profit to Rs 486 crore
Despite these numbers, the stock is down 11% since January.
What’s Next for Inventurus Knowledge Solutions?
The company says it will continue to invest in AI-led healthcare solutions—a strong long-term bet. But the market is clearly reacting to near-term supply dynamics. Sometimes, in the market, sentiment beats substance.
For now, the stock may need to stabilize post this sell-off, but the fundamentals remain strong. Whether this correction is a buying opportunity or a red flag depends on how investors interpret the overhang from the newly unlocked shares.
