Bullish Momentum in Paytm Stock

The current OI stands at $166 million, well below its one-year mean, signaling potential market movements.

These figures suggest that investors are anticipating important developments in Paytm’s performance and strategy.

Positive EBITDA Expectations

On the earnings front, Emkay forecasts a positive EBITDA (excluding ESOP costs) for Paytm, which is expected to be driven by strong growth in financial services revenue and lower indirect expenses. However, Emkay has cautioned that its projections are more conservative than the broader market expectations. Despite the cautious outlook, the expectation of positive EBITDA signals ongoing improvements in the company’s financial performance.
