Meesho Share Price Up Nearly 60% in Six Months as DIIs and FPIs Raise Stake: What the September Shareholding Shows, the Content Commerce Update, UBS Target, Valuation and Whether It Is Time to Buy

Quick Answer

Meesho share price is up nearly 60% in six months to about Rs 238, near its 52-week high of Rs 254.65, as institutions bought: the September shareholding shows domestic institutions at 13.60% from 9.14% in June and foreign institutions at 9.84% from 5.19%, while the public stake fell to 60.18% from 69.26%. UBS raised its target to Rs 260 from Rs 210 on 22 September with a Buy, and the 6 October Q2 business update showed content commerce net merchandise value up 152% year on year, with 1.6 lakh creators and 4 lakh sellers. The company is still loss-making, with a trailing loss of about Rs 1,201 crore on revenue of Rs 13,835 crore and a price near 25 times book value, so the valuation depends on contribution margin and EBITDA turning positive. Whether it is time to buy depends on your horizon and risk appetite, since the stock has already doubled from the Rs 111 IPO price and is near the top of its range.

Meesho share price has been one of the strongest recent listings in the consumer internet space, listing on 10 December 2025 at Rs 162.50 against an issue price of Rs 111. A large drop in private-equity holding has widened the free float and brought in mutual funds and foreign funds.
