Paytm had launched India’s largest initial public offer in a decade with an issue of Rs 18600 crore. It got listed on exchanges at Rs 1950 per share versus Rs 2150 per share at the upper-end price band.

The majority of the analysts, including Zee Business Managing Editor Anil Singhvi had predicted a weak listing for the Paytm shares. However, they suggest either wait for the opportunity to exit the counter or hold till the buying sentiment emerges in the stock.

Manoj Dalmia, Founder and Director, Proficient Equities had said, “Investors, who are stuck, should wait as there is a small buying being seen once. One may expect consolidation around the price of Rs 1200-1350 per share, which can be a buying opportunity considering base formation.”

Recommending to 'hold' for a few quarters and wait for expected results, he said, "This might trigger some buying action from FII, DII and price may rise. And, could be exited at a breakeven price.”
