The analysts also pointed out that despite its strong growth potential and positive outlook, Paytm is currently trading at a P/E (Price-to-Earnings) ratio of 37x for fiscal year 2026, which represents a 20% to 50% discount when compared to companies like Zomato and Nykaa. The analysts believe that this discount may not be justified, considering Paytm’s growth profile and its potential for profitability.
The company expects the tech giant to post a revenue growth of 30% for the September quarter with an EBITDA margin of 6.3%. The company is scheduled to post its results on Oct. 20.
