Market cap was Rs 1,10,050.5 crore.<\/em><\/div>\n<p class=\"univest-article-timestamp\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#5F6673;margin:8px 0 18px 0;;margin-top:0!important;margin-bottom:0!important;\"><strong>Published:<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;28 August 2026 at 2:19:28 PM IST<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:0!important;\">PAYTM Share Price fell today as One97 Communications ended at Rs 1,651, down 2.34% or Rs 39.5 from the previous close of Rs 1,690.5. The company\u2019s market capitalisation stands at Rs 1,10,050.50 Cr, placing it in the Large Cap category. The move makes PAYTM Share Price Today a key market topic for investors tracking PAYTM Stock News and PAYTM Share Price Update on Univest.<\/p>\n<p>The supplied data confirms the share price decline, but it does not establish a company-specific catalyst. What can be stated with certainty is that the stock opened at Rs 1,670.6, touched an intraday high of Rs 1,699.5 and a low of Rs 1,651, which is also the day\u2019s close. Turnover was Rs 15.62 Cr. For readers following PAYTM Share Price News, the move is relevant because it comes with a fresh reset in price action against a large listed market value.<\/p>\n<p>This PAYTM Stock News update matters for two reasons. First, the fall brings the stock back below the previous close after trading near the day\u2019s upper range earlier in the session. Second, investors often use such days to revisit PAYTM Fundamental Analysis, sector comparison and company valuation rather than focus only on the headline fall. Univest presents the verified numbers below so readers can assess the move in context.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey

The previous close was Rs 1,690.5, so the stock declined by Rs 39.5, or 2.34%, on the day. The intraday high was Rs 1,699.5 and the intraday low was Rs 1,651, showing that the stock finished at the day\u2019s low. For traders and long-term followers of PAYTM Share Price, these are the verified price points that define today\u2019s move.<\/p>\n<p>The market-cap category is Large Cap, and the market capitalisation is Rs 1,10,050.50 Cr. In practical terms, that size places One97 Communications among the more widely tracked listed companies, but the day\u2019s decline still makes PAYTM Share Price fall a live market event. Turnover was Rs 15.62 Cr, which is a factual traded-value figure for the session and should be read as a data point rather than an explanation.<\/p>\n<p>From a market-news perspective, today\u2019s PAYTM Stock Falling Today headline is driven by the combination of a lower close, a negative day change and a fresh day-end print at the intraday low. That is enough to keep PAYTM Share Price live in focus across stock market screens and on Univest. The next step for readers is to compare this move with valuation and financial quality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"One97_Communications_PAYTM_Fundamental_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>One97 Communications (PAYTM) Fundamental Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Metric<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Market Capitalisation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 1,10,050.5 crore<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/E Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">166.74x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>P\/B Ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">6.93x<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">3.71%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>ROCE<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">3.87%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>EPS<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 10.14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Book Value Per Share<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">Rs 243.91<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\"><strong>Dividend Yield<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:10px 12px;\">0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Profitability remains modest in the supplied data: ROE is 3.71% and ROCE is 3.87%. EPS stands at Rs 10.14, which means earnings attributable to each share are positive but still modest relative to the share price. Book value is Rs 243.91 per share, which gives a per-share accounting reference point for PAYTM Share Price analysis. Dividend yield is 0, so the current record does not show an equity income payout.<\/p>\n<p>For investors reading PAYTM Share News and PAYTM Financial Results context together, these figures indicate that valuation, earnings and book value all need to be considered together. Univest uses these numbers to frame a factual PAYTM Fundamental Analysis without turning the move into a recommendation or a forecast.

Against that peer set, One97 Communications has a P\/E of 166.74 versus a benchmark median of 49.41 and an average of 76.71. That places PAYTM Share Price analysis at a much richer valuation than the central industry range shown in the data.<\/p>\n<p>On P\/B, PAYTM stands at 6.93 versus a benchmark median of 4.4 and an average of 5.06. ROE at 3.71% is below the benchmark median of 6.67% and below the average of 4.16% only marginally on the supplied comparison set, while ROCE at 3.87% is also below the benchmark median of 8.32% and average of 8.67%. The benchmark market-cap median is Rs 4,832.47 Cr and the average is Rs 33,698.73 Cr, while PAYTM\u2019s market cap is Rs 1,10,050.50 Cr, well above both reference points.<\/p>\n<p>This sector view is important because PAYTM Stock Analysis is not just about a one-day move. The industry context shows how the stock sits relative to the same-industry set on valuation and returns. Univest places PAYTM Share Price Today inside that broader IT and Fintech framework so readers can compare the company\u2019s exact numbers with the sector benchmark rather than relying on a headline fall alone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Peer_Comparison\"><\/span><strong>Peer Comparison<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:16px 0 22px 0;\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Company<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Symbol<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">Market Cap (Cr)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/E<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">P\/B<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROE (%)<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:left;border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;background:#F7F9FC;\">ROCE (%)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/groww\/billionbrains-garage-vn-l-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>BILLIONBRAINS GARAGE VN L<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">GROWW<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1,23,119.33<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">50.59<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">12.15<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">29.7<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37.54<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/policybzr\/pb-fintech-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>PB Fintech<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">POLICYBZR<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">85,135.86<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">191.6<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">9.84<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.55<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.85<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/styl\/seshaasai-technologies-l-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>SESHAASAI TECHNOLOGIES L<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">STYL<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6,422.88<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">24.5<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.35<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">41.47<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">37.71<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/ccavenue\/infibeam-avenues-ltd-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>Infibeam Avenues<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">CCAVENUE<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">5,339.03<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">49.41<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">1.26<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">6.79<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">8.63<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/univest.in\/stocks\/turtlemint\/turtlemint-fintech-sols-l-share-price-today\" style=\"color:#0645AD;text-decoration:underline;\"><strong>TURTLEMINT FINTECH SOLS L<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">TURTLEMINT<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4,325.9<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">0<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">4.76<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">-42.85<\/td>\n<td style=\"border:1px solid #E3E7EE;padding:8px;\">-38.38<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Peer comparison puts PAYTM in a different bracket from several listed Fintech names on the supplied data.
