However, Ramachandran suggested investors not to buy Paytm stock till it doesn’t close above Rs 800. “A dip till Rs 740 looks likely in the near term,” Ramachandran added.

Ravi Singh, VP & Head of Research, Share India Securities, told FinancialExpress.com that the shares of Paytm are showing strength after the outcome of the recent AGM and may go up to the levels of 850. “However, investors may take this opportunity to exit their holdings and wait for lower levels of Rs 700 – 680 for fresh long positions,” Singh said. Ravi Singh also noted that the Paytm stock seems to be in an overbought zone and may witness correction around higher levels.
