Paytm stock’s book value per share is ₹227.74, making its current P/B ratio 3.96, a fair valuation for its sector. However, the company reported a negative EPS of ₹10.32 over the trailing twelve months, reflecting continued losses. This makes its P/E ratio undefined, in contrast with the sector P/E of 467.85, a figure typical for high-risk, high-growth fintech plays.
The company offers no dividend yield, which may concern income-seeking investors.
Analyst sentiment remains cautious. Among 17 analysts:
35% rate the stock a Buy
47% recommend Hold
12% suggest Underperform
6% recommend Sell
This shows that while there's still belief in Paytm’s brand and digital ecosystem, risks are weighing heavily on near-term confidence.
The sharp drop followed speculation that MDR fees may return on UPI payments. Some news outlets claimed the government might allow such fees. In response, the Finance Ministry posted on X (formerly Twitter), denying any such move. It also reaffirmed that no MDR has been introduced on UPI.
Still, the topic remains sensitive. Morgan Stanley flagged the development as especially important for Paytm, while UBS maintained a 'Neutral' rating with a ₹1,000 price target. For Paytm, which derives significant revenue from merchant payments, MDR rules can directly impact margins.
Paytm share price today is under clear selling pressure, dropping well below technical support levels. The MDR rumor, even after government clarification, has rattled investor confidence. The company is still unprofitable,so investors may remain cautious in the short term. Close attention should be paid to any policy update and whether the stock can stabilize above ₹900 in the days ahead.
