Stocks may face selling pressure after lock-in expiry

Shares of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) declined marginally on Monday by around 0.30% at the exchanges. However, the decline wasn’t very high given the fact the 20% or 1265 million of the company’s outstanding equity became eligible for trading since the lock-in period ended.

The shares of India’s largest insurer declined 0.26% on BSE and 0.30% on NSE, to close at Rs 606. The stock has already fallen nearly 31% from its listing price of Rs 875.25, and declined 36% from its issue price of Rs 949. It has declined about 8.82% in a year. The shares of LIC were subdued because its numbers declared recently did not enthuse many investors. The net premium declined 19% year-on-year to Rs 1.07 trillion in the second quarter ended September. The profit after tax for the quarter stood at Rs 7,930 crore.

Every ‘Barbie’ Partnership That We Could Find

Your social media feed has probably seemed a lot pinker lately than normal. That’s exactly what Mattel and Warner Bros. intended. Ahead of Barbie’s release on July 21, anticipation for the film—and the ongoing Barbiecore trend—has reached a fever pitch. Even brands that don’t have an official collaboration with the movie are subtly rolling out lines of pink yoga gear or rose-colored travel bags. But, as a Mattel executive reminded me in an interview for TIME’s cover story on Barbie, Barbiecore “didn’t just happen.”

The studio and the toy company have partnered with a dizzying number of clothing brands, haircare companies, and even pool float businesses to stamp Barbie’s favorite color on their products. The Copyright Office in the Library of Congress has registered more than 2,000 Barbie-related works including dolls, games, and songs for the movie, according to public records.
