One97 Communications made a profit of about ₹122 crore in the first quarter, after losing money during the same time last year. This is the first time that the company has made a profit in one quarter. The profit came mainly because it earned more money, almost 28% more than before and spent less. The company also set aside some money to cover future risks and cancelled some employee stock rewards to save costs. Its main businesses, like payments and lending, are doing better now, and the company is working more efficiently to stay successful.
Before Paytm announced its Q1 results, its stock showed strong growth, gaining attention from many investors. Over the last year, its share price has gone up by about 122%, showing a strong recovery, but it is still about 53% lower than its IPO price. The stock continued to rise, going up over 6% and crossing the ₹1,000 price level. This rise shows that investors are feeling more confident about the company’s performance. Many experts believe this is because its main services, like digital payments and loan distribution, are doing well, and the company has been cutting down on unnecessary spending.
Its share price went up by more than 3% for the first time in six months. This big increase shows that people who buy and sell stocks feel more confident about its future. According to the experts, the rise happened because it is earning more money, getting important approvals, and making good business decisions. Some experts believe the company will grow and make profits soon. They think it is doing well by expanding its business, working with partners, and controlling its costs. All this good news is making many investors hopeful about its future in the digital payments market.
Recently, its share price rose by more than 2%, and it has been going up for four days in a row. This rise is because many stock buyers and sellers hope it will be added again to the MSCI India Standard Index in August. When a company is on this important list, big international investors usually invest more money in it. If it is added back, it could get about $212 million from these investors. MSCI will decide on August 8, and any changes will take effect on August 26. If it is included again, investors will likely feel more confident, which could help the stock price rise even more. This hope is good news as Paytm works to grow its business and improve its financials.
