Paytm tumbling down 15th November 2022 marked the expiry of Paytm's lock-in period. It is not unusual for a company's shares to fall when an IPO's lock-in period expires and shares are freed up to trade in the open market. ~86% of Paytm’s outstanding shares were in the lock-in period. The stock fell 4% primarily due to the exit of the pre-IPO investors. On the next day, SoftBank sold 4.5% of its stake in Paytm in a block sale. These two developments brutally dragged the stock 10%! 15th November 2022 marked the expiry of Paytm's lock-in period.

These two developments brutally dragged the stock 10%! ๐ While some analysts also attributed the fall to the disappointing quarterly results and concerns about high valuation, the most recent development that battered the stock is a report by Macquarie. It stated that Reliance's Jio Financial Services (JFS) could threaten existing players like Paytm and Bajaj Finance. JFS will bring with it a competitive advantage of a strong network of 20m and consumers, an AAA credit rating of Reliance that will help attract funding at low costs, and an already available NBFC license. News about the National Payments Corporation of India's talks with the RBI about implementing a limit on player volume to 30% also hurt investor sentiment. If implemented, users may not be able to make unlimited payments through UPI apps exceeding the limit. In their first Annual General Meeting, CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma assured shareholders that the company is on its way to becoming profitable by September 2023.
