thebalanced.newsBrokerages Maintain Buy Ratings on Paytm Amid RBI License Cancellation of Paytm Payments Bank
Global brokerages Goldman Sachs and Jefferies have reiterated 'Buy' ratings on Paytm, citing strong market share gains and operational resilience despite the Reserve Bank of India's cancellation of Paytm Payments Bank Ltd's license. Paytm has decoupled its core business from the bank, maintaining growth in payments and financial services, with projected gross merchandise value growth of around 26% year-on-year and improving profitability. Both firms expect continued revenue growth and expanding EBITDA margins driven by consumer and merchant engagement recovery.
