PhysicsWallah share price surged in Monday’s trade after the edtech company announced a strategic shift in its student lending business, moving away from direct lending and opting for partnerships with regulated non-banking financial companies (NBFCs).
The stock climbed as much as around 9% to an intraday high of ₹111.85 on the BSE, compared to its previous close of ₹102.65. The counter also witnessed strong trading activity, with volumes surging more than 2.79 times on the BSE.
The rally in PhysicsWallah share price came after the company announced it would no longer directly fund student loans through its subsidiary. Instead, it will collaborate with regulated NBFCs to meet student financing requirements.
The move marks a reversal of its earlier approach and is aimed at reducing balance sheet exposure and credit-related risks while allowing the company to focus on its core education business.
According to Co-founder Prateek Maheshwari, the decision follows feedback from partners and reflects the company’s focus on strengthening its core online education and community-driven model.
PhysicsWallah had previously announced plans to invest around ₹120 crore in its wholly owned subsidiary, FinZ Finance Pvt. Ltd., to build its student lending vertical.
However, in its latest exchange filing, the company stated that the future strategy for FinZ Finance will be decided later, subject to board and regulatory approvals, indicating a clear strategic pivot in its approach to financing operations.
On June 8, 2026, PhysicsWallah share price closed at ₹105.40 per share, reflecting a surge of 2.68% from the previous closing price. The stock came under pressure from weak overall market sentiment despite recent positive news flow.
PhysicsWallah shares gained sharply after the company’s decision to exit direct student lending and partner with regulated NBFCs. The strategic shift is aimed at reducing risk exposure and improving capital efficiency, while reinforcing its focus on the core edtech business.
