Paytm reported a recovery in business metrics during FY25 after bearing the brunt of regulatory restrictions. It remains focused on expanding its merchant base, alongside a recovery in its disbursement run rate. Contribution margin is expected to remain healthy, led by cost control, which will help Paytm turn Ebitda positive by FY27E, said Motilal Oswal Financial Services.

"However, we remain watchful of the challenging macro environment, near-term pressure on the UPI market share and weaker profitability in payments business as MDR on UPI transactions now looks unlikely," it added. Motilal Oswal continues to maintain its 'neutral' rating on the stock with a target price of Rs 870.
