Paytm market cap nears $2.5 billion as shares continue to tumble

On Tuesday, the market capitalisation of One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, fell by 3.5% as its shares continued to decline. This comes after the recent resignation of the company's COO and president. Paytm's share price has been struggling since its initial public offering (IPO) in 2021, when it was valued at $20 billion, but has since fallen to $13 billion. The Reserve Bank of India's actions against Paytm Payments Bank and recent leadership changes have also impacted the company's stock performance.

Meta is approaching a $1 trillion market cap after Mark Zuckerberg's 'Year of Efficiency'

Shares of Meta Platforms are nearing a market cap of $1 trillion after a successful "Year of Efficiency." The company's stock gained 200% in 2023, placing its market cap at $966.60 billion, just $33.4 billion shy of the milestone. If achieved, Meta will join the ranks of other tech giants such as Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, and Nvidia. However, Meta previously reached the $1 trillion mark in 2021 but suffered a significant stock price decline in 2022. Despite challenges, Meta's efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency have paid off, reflected in their strong earnings and substantial stock gains in 2023.

Paytm hits lower circuit for third straight session, wipes out $2.5 bn in market cap

Indian digital payments firm Paytm has seen its shares drop for a third consecutive session, resulting in a $2.5 billion decrease in market value. This decline follows a regulatory crackdown by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) last week, which led to uncertainty surrounding Paytm's business operations. The RBI instructed Paytm Payments Bank to cease accepting fresh deposits in its accounts and digital wallets from March. The RBI alleged non-compliance with regulations related to customer due diligence, use of funds, and technology infrastructure. Paytm's stock fell by 10% on the Bombay Stock Exchange, reaching a record low. The RBI has passed information to the Enforcement Directorate, hinting at concerns of potential money laundering activities.
