The FIIs have sell almost more than 65% of their stakes in the Lancer Container Lines. The FIIs holding is significantly dropped to only 5.86% as of January 2025 from 16.86% in June 2024. There are 3 key reasons why FIIs have reduced their stakes from the company. The major reason is being the prolonged share price decline, and about 36.5% of correction in its share price happened in the last month itself. The other two reasons are poor financial performance and decline in promoter’s shareholding. Although the company is pushing for aggressive expansion for its container capacity but still both profits and OPM have come down. At last, the promoter’s holding has been downed to 41.89% in Dec 2024 from 55.06% in Sep 2022. These are the reason of the FIIs for entrusting the company for its investment.
