On May 13, Indian stock markets saw two high-profile moves—IIFL Finance surged 5%, while Paytm shares slipped nearly 3%. Here’s a quick breakdown of the triggers behind both movements:

IIFL Finance Stock Update:

• Trading at: ₹407.45 (up ~5%)

• HSBC upgraded the stock to ‘Buy’

• Target Price: ₹550 (42% upside from ₹388.15)

• Positive drivers:

o Recovery in microfinance segment

o Improved liquidity

o Lower cost of funds

• Caution: Rising competition in gold loans

• Stock is up 18% in 5 days, but still down 2% in 2025

Paytm Stock Update:

• Dropped 3% after a massive block deal

• 1.7 crore shares traded, ~4.1% of equity

• Likely seller: Antfin (Alibaba Group)

• Deal value: ₹2,200 crore at floor price ₹809.75 (6% discount)

• Vijay Shekhar Sharma remains the largest shareholder

o 9.05% direct

o 10.24% via Resilient Asset Management

What does this mean? While IIFL's rally signals rising investor confidence, Paytm's decline reflects shifting institutional ownership and lingering uncertainty post-Antfin exit.
