The government, early this year, announced an ‘Offer for Sale’ (OFS) planning to sell 1% of its stake at a floor price of 91. The move will boost the stock’s free float and liquidity, and the disinvestment drive from the government allows retail investors to grab the stock. IRFC shares remain popular with a large retail base, as the amount is less than 100.Under the OFS, the government plans to sell 13.06 crore IRFC shares, with an option to offload another 1% or another 13.06 crore shares. The sales of the stock are what led to the railway giant seeing a steep price decline. The correction is normal and could stabilize in value once the OFS is fully completed. Accumulating IRFC shares at this level or buying the dips in the 80+ range could be beneficial. Chances remain high that it could surge after the settlement is completed.
