Paytm Q4 Results 2026 LIVE: One 97 Communications Ltd, the parent company of Paytm, is set to announce its Q4 Results 2026 today (Wednesday, 6 May).
The fintech firm’s Board of Directors will meet to consider and approve the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and financial year ended March 31.
Ahead of the Q4 results, Paytm shares rose 2.5% on the BSE.
Analysts expect revenue to remain largely flat quarter-on-quarter in the range of ₹2,180– ₹2,500 crore, with gross merchandise value (GMV) likely to grow by around 4% QoQ. The results are expected to reflect the impact of the cancellation of the Paytm Payments Bank licence in April 2026.
Following the announcement of results, the company will host an earnings conference call for investors and analysts on Thursday, May 7. The call is scheduled from 8:00 to 8:45 IST.
During the earnings call, the management is expected to discuss the company’s financial performance for the quarter and full year, along with key operational developments and business updates. The interaction will also provide investors and analysts with insights into growth trends and future outlook.
Sudeep Shah, Head of Technical and Derivatives Research at SBI Securities, said Paytm has been consolidating within the 1148–1051 range over the past seven sessions, indicating a phase of indecision. The RSI remains flat, suggesting a lack of strong directional momentum, while a subdued ADX highlights low volatility in the counter.
Shah added that over the last three sessions, the stock attempted to breach its 200-day EMA zone of 1,220–1,225 but consistently faced selling pressure at higher levels. A decisive breakout above this resistance zone could trigger an upward move. On the downside, immediate support lies in the 1,075–1,070 zone, which will be crucial to watch in the near term.
In accordance with SEBI's regulations on preventing insider trading, Paytm notified the exchanges that the trading window for transactions involving the company's securities is shut for all designated individuals and their close relatives until Friday, May 8.
According to news reports, Haitong anticipates that Paytm's financial performance will improve significantly in the coming years, forecasting a nearly fourfold increase in both EBITDA and net profit from FY26 to FY28. The profit after tax is expected to rise to ₹22 billion by FY28, up from ₹5.9 billion in FY26, bolstered by margin expansion and the utilisation of accumulated tax losses.
The brokerage has also estimated a consistent improvement in return on equity, expecting it to reach around 12% by FY28, compared to about 4% in FY26, indicative of enhanced operational efficiency and profitability.
Paytm's consolidated operating revenue rose 20% year over year to ₹2,194 crore, up from ₹1,828 crore in the same quarter last year. The company recorded EBITDA of ₹156 crore, compared with a loss of ₹223 crore in the prior year. Margins improved to 7%, recovering from -12%. The net profit (PAT) stood at ₹225 crore, marking a turnaround from a loss of ₹208 crore in the same quarter last year.
The company will hold an earnings conference call for investors and analysts on Thursday, May 7. This call is scheduled from 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. (IST). During the call, management will review the financial results and significant developments with investors and analysts.
Paytm is expected to report largely flat revenue performance on a sequential basis for Q4, according to Motilal Oswal Financial Services. Revenue from operations is estimated at ₹2,180 crore (up 14% YoY), reflecting subdued QoQ growth.
Contribution profit is projected to rise 13% YoY (though down 3% QoQ) to ₹1,215 crore, with contribution margins remaining stable at around 55.6%.
The brokerage maintains a Neutral rating on the stock, with a CMP of ₹997 and a target price of ₹1,150 (implying ~15% upside). EBITDA estimates have been revised downward for FY26, FY27, and FY28 by 17.2%, 43.0%, and 33.2%, respectively.
Paytm share price opened at ₹1,094.25 apiece on the BSE, the stock touched an intraday high of ₹1,116.20 per share, and an intraday low of ₹1,090 apiece.
According to Rajesh Bhosale, Equity Technical and Derivative Analyst at Angel One, the stock is witnessing strong support near the ₹1,050 level, with signs of base formation emerging. He noted that the stock is currently up around 2% andthat, as long as this key support holds, further upside cannot be ruled out.
On the upside, Bhosale highlighted ₹1,200 as the immediate resistance level, which coincides with the 200-day moving average and the previous swing high. A decisive breakout above this zone could be crucial for extending the upward momentum.
