Promoters and early investors took to Dalal Street in a big way on Thursday, June 26, looking to offload holdings worth over Rs 1,700 crore across four different companies.

For Mobikwik, Net1 Applied Technologies Netherlands BV, an arm of South Africa’s Net1 UEPS Technologies, was supposedly preparing to offload around 8 percent of its holdings in the firm, sources said.

Co-founders Yashish Dahiya and Alok Bansal were likely the sellers in the PB Fintech block deal. However, Moneycontrol could not immediately ascertain the buyers and the sellers in the Coforge and Delhivery deals.

Elevated valuations, combined with investor optimism, have resulted in large corporations and promoters offloading large chunks of their stakes to sit on a tidy pile of gains, noted international brokerage Jefferies.

In May and June so far, around $13.2 billion has been raised through stake sales. According to Jefferies’ Global Head of Equity Strategy Chris Wood, the large equity supply is among the key risks to the markets.
