Here's a snapshot of how the stocks of Paytm, Ideaforge, Eternal, Bajaj Finance, IRFC, SBI, and Titan are performing based on the latest news:
Paytm
Paytm shares have been gaining ground, crossing ₹1,000 for the first time in six months. On July 16, 2025, the shares surged nearly 3%, reaching ₹1014. This rise is attributed to the potential inclusion of Paytm in the MSCI Standard Index in August, which could lead to significant inflows. Motilal Oswal estimates inflows worth $212 million following the index adjustments. After hitting a low of ₹310 in May 2024, the stock has seen a substantial recovery, rallying 230% to end the year at ₹1,017.
One 97 Communications, Paytm's parent company, is scheduled to announce its Q1 FY26 results on July 22, 2025. Analysts predict strong quarterly results, with the possibility of the company's first profitable quarter. However, in the previous quarter, Paytm reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 544.6 crore, including a one-time loss of Rs 522 crore. Despite this, revenue increased 4.6% sequentially to Rs 1,911.5 crore.
Analysts have given the stock a "Hold" rating. Paytm's share price target is ₹1050 with a "Buy" recommendation from Nuvama Wealth brokerage.
Ideaforge
Ideaforge Technology shares experienced a 10% surge after securing a ₹137 crore defense order to supply Mini UAVs to the Ministry of Defence. The company is set to announce its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, on July 22, 2025.
Despite strong year-to-date gains, analysts remain cautious with a "Sell" rating. On July 21, 2025, Ideaforge Technology Ltd's stock price was at 548.45, a 0.63% increase. However, the stock has underperformed over the past week, month, and year. The company has been facing challenges, including operating losses.
Eternal (Zomato)
Eternal's stock has shown significant upward momentum. On July 21, 2025, the share price rose 3.1% to ₹265.1 during the session, and has climbed 25% year-to-date. This rally occurred ahead of the company's Q1 FY26 financial results announcement.
Eternal's Q1 results revealed a 90% year-on-year drop in consolidated net profit to ₹25 crore, compared to ₹253 crore in the same period last year. However, revenue from operations surged 70.4% year-on-year to ₹7,167 crore. This revenue growth was primarily driven by Blinkit, Eternal's quick commerce platform, which saw a 154% year-on-year increase in revenue to ₹2,400 crore. Revenue from the food delivery business also rose over 16% YoY to ₹2,261 crore.
Despite the drop in profit, Eternal shares zoomed 7.55%. Investors are focusing on the growth of Blinkit and the company's ability to capture further market share.
Bajaj Finance

Despite these changes, Jefferies remains positive on Bajaj Finance, citing the company's strong footing to benefit from lower rates, improving asset quality, and an uptick in credit demand. They have a Buy rating with a target price of Rs 1,044 per share. ICICI Direct has set a target price of Rs 974.6.
