Paytm's business model lacks focus and direction, the company a 'cash guzzler'.
Paytm's valuation, at 26 times FY23 price to sales (P/S), is expensive especially when profitability remains elusive for a long time. Most fintech players globally trade around 0.3-0.5 times PSG (price to sales growth ratio) and we have assumed the upper end of this band. We are unwilling to give it a premium here as we are unsure about the path to profitability. Key risks include change in regulations which allow monetisation of UPI and receipt of a banking license.
Jai Hind.
