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.

Why are Tilaknagar Industries shares down 5% today? Details here
Tilaknagar Industries Ltd (NSE: TI) saw its shares fall 5% in Wednesday's trade following a major fundraising announcement. As of 9:54 AM, the shares were trading 3.88% lower at Rs 490.25. The company's board has approved a preferential issue of securities, including equity shares and warrants, to raise approximately ₹2,296 crore. The issue price has been set at ₹382 per security, representing a discount of nearly 25% to the current market price, which triggered investor concerns and a negative reaction on the stock. The preferential allotment is being offered to 44 investors, including promoters and other existing institutional stakeholders. One of the most significant aspects of this issue is the participation of the promoter group, with Mr. Amit Dahanukar, the company's Chairman and Managing Director, subscribing to warrants worth around ₹306 crore. This move is being seen as a strong show of confidence in the company's future prospects. Tilaknagar Industries plans to use the proceeds from this capital raise primarily for acquiring the Imperial Blue business division, a strategic expansion that could bolster its product portfolio and market share in the competitive IMFL space. A part of the funds will also be allocated for general corporate purposes. The company stated that this preferential issue, coupled with an upcoming debt raise, is part of a balanced financing strategy to fund the acquisition and drive long-term growth. Tilaknagar Industries shares opened at ₹499.00 and touched a high of ₹517.25 during the day, while the low was ₹481.00. The stock had closed at ₹510.05 in the previous session. Its 52-week range spans from a low of ₹199.53 to a high of ₹524.00.
