A lock-up period is a set time after a company’s stock offering during which insiders, early investors, and employees are contractually prevented from selling their shares. It matters to investors because it temporarily limits how many shares can enter the market—reducing the risk of an immediate flood of sales—and when the period ends a sudden increase in supply can put downward pressure on the stock price, creating a predictable risk window.
