What is an Offer for Sale (OFS)?
An Offer for Sale (OFS) is when large shareholders, like promoters or the government, sell their shares in a listed company through the stock exchange.
It’s a way to reduce their stake without going through a full IPO or block deal. The shares are offered to the public, often at a discount, for a limited time (usually 1–2 days).
For investors, OFS offers a chance to buy into established companies, but always check:
Why is the stake being sold? Is the pricing attractive?
How’s the company’s recent performance?
Sometimes, it’s a great opportunity or a subtle red flag.
