We further estimate its revenue/contribution profit to grow at 26%/32% CAGR over FY23-28,” adding, “We thus value Paytm based on 18x FY28E EV/EBITDA and discount the same to FY25E taking a discount rate of ~15% thus valuing the stock at INR865, which implies 4.5x FY25E P/Sales. We initiate coverage on the stock with a BUY rating.”
