Role of Public Sentiment in Financial Decision-Making: A Study on Paytm Stock Price Reactions

Abstract
This research paper investigates the correlation between public sentiment on social media and the stock price of Paytm from February 1 to February 16, 2024. By employing sentiment analysis, the study aims to explore how public opinion, expressed through platforms like Twitter, affects Paytm's stock price movements. We gathered a dataset of relevant tweets and used natural language processing (NLP) to categorize the sentiments expressed as positive, negative, or neutral. At the same time, we analysed Paytm's stock price data from the same period to explore any meaningful connections between the sentiments and stock performance. The results could provide valuable insights for investors, stakeholders, and companies aiming to better understand how public sentiment influences market behaviour.
