Paytm share price reaches highest point in a year on RBI relief and positive earnings report

Monday saw One97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, continuing its positive trend with a 3.60% increase, closing at ₹1,368.10. The stock price reached a new 52-week high on the NSE at ₹1,364.80, the highest level since December 2021. Opening at ₹1,335, the stock traded with a market cap of 84,427.80 Cr. and a VWAP of ₹1, 351.85.

The recent announcement by Paytm that the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had granted the final Certificate of Authorisation to Paytm Payments Services Limited had a significant impact on market sentiment. This authorization allows the subsidiary to operate as a fully authorized entity, lifting the ban on the onboarding of new merchants that was in place since November 2022. With compliance issues resolved, Paytm can now regain lost market share, boosting confidence in the company.

Optimism in the market was further bolstered by One97 Communications’ recent acquisitions aimed at streamlining its group structure. Through these transactions, the company acquired full ownership of Foster Payment Networks Private Limited by securing an additional 9.99% stake, gained complete control of Paytm Insuretech Private Limited with a further 67.55% purchase, and consolidated Paytm Financial Services Limited (PFSL) by acquiring the remaining 51.22% stake. Effective as of November 27, 2025, all three companies now operate as wholly owned subsidiaries under One97 Communications, bringing Admirable Software, Mobiquest Mobile Technologies, Urja Money, and Fincollect Services into the fold as step-down subsidiaries under PFSL.

Paytm’s strong Q2 results have also contributed to its positive stock performance. Operating revenue increased by 24% year-over-year to ₹2,061 crore, with a PAT of ₹211 crore. EBITDA rose to ₹142 crore, and contribution profit grew by 35%, reflecting robust growth in both payment and financial services. The stock has appreciated by 90% over the past 8 months and has seen gains for seven consecutive months, making it the company’s strongest performance since going public.

The stock price has been moving sideways after hitting a high of ₹1,364.00, comfortably above the 52-week low of ₹651.50. With a YTD surge of more than 51% and a three-month increase of around 13.40%, the stock’s PE ratio stands at -138.64 (due to net losses) compared to the industry average of 147.83.
