Paytm shares rise over 2% today as stock emerges among top Nifty Midcap 150 gainers; nears 52-week high
The stock traded in a day's range of ₹983.10–₹1,014.30, close to its 52-week high of ₹1,062.95, and well above its 52-week low of ₹425.60. With a market cap of approximately ₹643.72 billion and an average daily volume of around 4.73 million shares, Paytm remains a prominent player in the midcap space. Company & market positioning
Paytm is part of the Nifty Midcap 150 index, but Motilal Oswal has noted a high probability that the stock could move back to the MSCI Standard Index in the upcoming index reshuffle in August. If the inclusion materializes, it could trigger inflows worth approximately $212 million, with announcements due on August 8 and adjustments on August 26. Recent financial performance
Paytm's financial performance remains mixed. For the quarter ended March 2025, revenue stood at ₹1,911.5 crore, down from ₹2,267.1 crore in March 2024. Net loss widened slightly to ₹544.3 crore from ₹533.8 crore a year earlier, while EPS improved to -8.47 from -9.00.
For the full year FY25, revenue came in at ₹6,900.4 crore compared to ₹9,977.8 crore in FY24. Net loss narrowed to ₹665.7 crore from ₹1,384.7 crore, and EPS improved to -10.35 from -22.00. The company continues to work on cost optimization, with total expenditure for March 2025 falling to ₹6,915 crore from ₹9,638 crore last year. EBIT losses also narrowed to ₹773 crore from ₹1,452 crore.
On a cash flow basis, however, the company posted a net outflow of ₹1,914 crore for March 2025 versus an inflow of ₹840 crore a year earlier. Analysts' outlook
Out of 19 analysts covering Paytm, nine recommend 'buy,' seven 'hold,' and three 'sell,' with a consensus indicating a mild downside of about 2% from current levels. Analysts remain cautious amid the company's ongoing losses and volatile earnings trajectory, even as the potential MSCI inclusion and strong market momentum lend near-term support.
The stock has performed well over the past year, gaining in 12 of the last 14 months, signaling strong investor interest despite lingering concerns over profitability.
