Annual Report 2018

Discussion on Paytm One 97 Communication Unlisted Shares:

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?

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.

Max amound paid per share is around 10500/share in 2017/18, now they are asking 18000/share almost @double price so why one should pay double amount rather than in market many great business models are available at much lover price so one can plan investment in them

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.

*********Good News for Paytm Payment Bank**************

Paytm Payment Bank Limited has resumed adding KYC of the new bank and wallet customers which was stopped by RBI in June last year due to some observation made by the audit committee.

The RBI has given there nod to start adding new customers from 31.12.2018 onwards. Now the potential customer can open a saving or current account with the payment bank.

Paytm Bank is expecting to add an additional 10 Cr customers by the year-end.

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.

What are the other businesses into which PAYTM wants to enter in future

Hotel Booking, Bus travel etc.

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.

They are selling to retailers @ much higher rate…so how one can plan investment at such high rate & in one year company had not posted any magical profit figures so people think of paying higher amount even losses are widen in current fiscal year
