Looking at the latest numbers, seems like Paytm did take a big hit in 2019. What is the CMP if one discounts this increasing competition in real time payments, investment apps etc
Market Wizard
CMP is already discounted by 25-30% from the last funding valuation that had happened in 2019. The last funding was done at Rs. 17000 per share by Softbank and many other investors. Check this out!!
https://unlistedzone.com/1billion-funding-for-paytm-and-ipo-plans-26-11-2019/
As of 31.05.2020, the CMP is around 12000-13000.
Yes, the competition is increasing among the payments app and latest edition of Watsapp will make life tough for Paytm. It is a make or breaks situation for Paytm now and the same was conveyed to Mr. Vijay Shekahar in the last funding round. We will have to see how Paytm face this challenge and come out winning.

As per the news published in Moneycontrol, the PhonePe App of Flipkart acquired by Walmart last year may be valued at around 10 Billion dollars. Last year when Walmart bought Flipkart, it was valued around 20 billion dollars. So roughly we can say as on date the cumulative valuation of Flipkart and PhonePe is $30 Billion.
Recently, Walmart has infused $280 Million in PhonePe in two tranches to compete in the market.
The company is facing the biggest competition from Paytm and Google Pay. Google Pay recorded more than 240 million transactions in May-19, which beat both Flipkart-owned PhonePe, which had around 230 million UPI payments last month and Paytm having 200 million transactions as per an Economic Times report.
Facebook will be launching Watsapp Wallet next year. With Watsapp’s world-wide reach and huge customer base, the competition is going to be tough for existing players. So we might not able to see the kind of growth in the existing wallets in future.

How does a retail investor make profit after buying at current price of 18,000/- per share? What will be the price if this ever goes to IPO?
Market Wizard
Retailers were asking the same question last year when the share price was around 8000-10000. In the meanwhile Warren Buffet Investment Company Berkshire Hathway did strategic investment somewhere around 12000-13000 per share. After this news came in the market the demand for Paytm multi folds which has dragged the price to 17k-18K level.
We at UnlistedZone too feel that it is slightly overvalued but if nobody wants to sell at a lower level then there is no option but to buy at those level which is available in the market.
Paytm is likely to face huge competition this year with the launch of WatsApp Pay.

Sir, the Indian E-commerce industry in the last 10 years have seen tons of startup started and went into ash.
Today the E-Commerce business is a cash-consuming model as the competition is super tough in the market but in future, it will be a cash cow. We have seen how Flipkart which was started10 years ago has not generated a profit in a single year but sold to Walmart at Rs. 1 Lakh Crore which is the biggest business acquisition in the history of India. So if Walmart is buying loss-making entity at such valuation must have seen something in the company which you and I at this stage can’t see.
I agree that these companies today are not making any profit but please understand that this is the consolidation phase going for the sector and in coming few years we will see 1-2 companies dominating in the sector and all other either will vanish or will be acquired by biggies.
The opportunity in India for the E-commerce market is huge. As per statistics, e-commerce penetration is strands only 28% and the growth of the sector is projected to grow at CAGR of 23% in the next 5 years. The few companies which will survive will become cash-cow. The Paytm would be one among them without any doubt.

Paytm to Enter in Broking and Mutual Fund Business- This will shake up the entire Broking Industry.
After entering the financial products distribution market with mutual funds, Paytm Money wants to offer shares of listed companies directly to customers. The firm is expected to submit its application within two weeks to either of the two exchanges, BSE and the National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Ashishkumar Chauhan, chief executive officer at BSE, said: “If they wish to apply for a broking license, we would be delighted to welcome them.”
Paytm Money had launched an app to offer mutual fund products to its clients. Close to 1.07 million customers have already registered for the service. At present, more than 10,000 customers a day are allowed access to the app to be able to buy and sell mutual funds.
By offering direct equities, Paytm Money aims to attract slightly more sophisticated investors.
Paytm’s entry could potentially shake up the markets and bring in new investors, given the lack of penetration of household savings in financial instruments, according to market experts.
Paytm claims to have more than 350 million registered users.
The question is how will Paytm ensure that investors don’t churn frequently.
One of Paytm Money’s advantages is that it can offer products at low cost. It already offers direct plans of mutual funds, which do not involve distributor commissions and thus come at a lower cost. Besides, it does not charge an advisory fee. It remains to be seen if it waives off brokerage charges along the lines of Zerodha, which does not charge if you take delivery of stocks bought on its platform.

India’s largest payment services provider Paytm said Warren Buffett-owned Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has invested an undisclosed amount in the company, in a rare deal for the world’s best-known investor who typically avoids internet firms. One97 Communications Ltd, which owns Paytm, also said Berkshire’s investment manager Todd Combs who was leading the investment discussions will join its board.
Mint first reported on Monday that Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is set to buy a 3-4% stake in One97 for ₹ 2,200-2,500 crore, the billionaire investor’s first investment in an Indian company.

It is a must buy stock in everyone’s portfolio. The company is foraying into every other business ranging from MFs, Insurance, Travel-Ticketing, etc to reap the benefit. The company has tie-up with all the Toll tax companies wherein the company is putting fast tags for seamless movement of traffic in tolls booth. So overall we can say the company is worth to consider for investment.
