Paytm’s share climbed over 2% in early trade on July 15, hitting intra day high of Rs. 999, and maintained its winning streak for the fourth day in a row. The shares have rallied over 6% this month, building on consistent gains seen over recent months.

Reason Behind Paytm Winning Streak

Backed by strong domestic institutional interest and improved sentiment, the stock of One97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, has now posted gains for five straight months. It added 4% in June, 3% in May, 10.4% in April, and 9.6% in March. This sustained rebound follows steep losses earlier in the year, with the stock declining 24% in January and 8% in February.

A potential upgrade of Paytm in the MSCI index—from Smallcap to the Standard Index—could trigger significant inflows, with Motilal Oswal analysts projecting around USD 212 million in passive investments. The official announcement is expected on August 8, with any changes set to take effect on August 26. If confirmed, this development could draw increased investor interest and capital into Paytm, marking a key moment for both the stock and the broader fintech space.

Fresh shareholding data for the June quarter also signals growing confidence among domestic investors. Indian mutual funds increased their collective holding in Paytm to 13.86% as of June 30, up from 13.11% at the end of March. Key domestic investors include Mirae Asset Mutual Fund (3.2%), Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund (2.61%), Nippon Mutual Fund (2.55%), and Bandhan Mutual Fund (1.02%).

Meanwhile, foreign portfolio investor (FPI) ownership saw a marginal decline, dropping from 55.38% in March to 54.87% in June.
