The stock of food delivery chain company Zomato, which is listed in the stock market, is getting beaten up heavily. On the first trading day of the week, Zomato's Share Price fell by 14.25 percent to a level of Rs 46, while on Friday the stock closed at Rs 53.65. Currently, the stock is trading at Rs 47.10.
Why did Zomato's stock fall sharply?
If we look at the reasons for the decline in Zomato's stock, then two main reasons are being told for it. If you look at these reasons
1. Zomato has completed one year of being listed in the stock market. And the investors whose shares were in the lock-in period of one year are now free from this bond and can sell the shares if they want. Due to the non-performance of the stock, the market is afraid that these investors may sell, so the stock is seeing a decline.
2. On the other hand, Jubilant FoodWorks, which runs Domino's and Dunkin Donuts retail chains in the country, may stop taking orders from Zomato and Swiggy's online apps. This disclosure has been made by Jubilant Foodworks itself in a confidential filing submitted to the Competition Commission of India. That is, you may not find Domino's Pizza on the online food delivery company Zomato app. Due to this, there is a big decline in the stock of Zomato.
