Paytm Share Price: One97 Communications Ltd (Paytm) shares will be in focus on Wednesday, July 23, after the fintech reported the first-ever quarterly profit in the first quarter of the FY2025-26.
Paytm on Tuesday reported a net profit of Rs 123 crore for the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26, compared to a loss of Rs 840 crore a year ago. It is driven by AI-led operating leverage, disciplined cost structure and higher other income, said the company.
The fintech major’s operating revenue rose 28% year-on-year to Rs 1,918 crore during the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
The company’s contribution profit stood at Rs 1,151 crore, up 52% YoY, with a contribution margin of 60%. This growth was led by improved net payment revenues, a stronger financial services portfolio, and reduced direct expenses. Paytm also reported a positive EBITDA of Rs 72 crore — a margin of 4% — indicating early signs of sustainable profitability.
The company said its net payment revenue was up 38 per cent to Rs 529 crore, led by growth in high-quality subscription merchants and an increase in payment processing margins.
Distribution of financial services revenue increased by 100% YoY to Rs 561 Cr, driven by growth in merchant loans, trail revenue from DLG portfolio, and improved collection performance.
As of June 2025, Paytm had 1.30 crore subscription-based merchants. The company sees a long-term potential of catering to 10 crore merchants, out of which 40–50% are expected to subscribe to its services.
