Whirlpool of India is under heavy selling pressure, with the share price slipping more than 11% after reports of a large promoter stake sale. The sudden supply of shares, priced well below the last closing value, immediately weighed on investor sentiment and pushed the stock sharply lower.

Let’s take look at the key reasons why the share price of Whirlpool of India fell sharply today –

A major block deal buzz triggers the slide

The biggest trigger for the fall was a massive share sale carried out by Whirlpool Mauritius, the promoter entity of the company. As per reports in CNBC-TV18 and CNBC Awaaz, the promoter could be selling nearly 95 lakh shares. This is equivalent to around 7.5% of the total equity through a block deal. The floor price for the transaction was fixed at Rs 1,030 per share. This is about 14% lower than the previous day’s closing price.

Such a steep discount immediately narrowed the gap between market value and the block deal price, leading to a wave of selling in the open market. The stock dropped to around Rs 1,041 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and nearly Rs 1,055 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in early trade.
