Paytm Share Price: Ahead of the company's March quarter (Q4 FY25) earnings announcement, shares of One97 Communications Ltd., the parent company of Paytm, plummeted on Monday, May 6. The stock was one of the biggest losers on the Nifty 500 index, falling 5% during intraday trading. Paytm shares were down 4.55% at Rs 826.60 on the NSE as of 11:40 AM. The stock is currently trading roughly 61% below its IPO price of Rs 2,150, having dropped by nearly 16.3% so far in 2025.

Brokerage firms are still unsure of what to anticipate when the company releases its Q4 FY25 results later today. Some predict sustained losses, while others expect a turnaround with slight profits.

Divergent Brokerage Estimates

For the quarter, JM Financial and Yes Securities have projected a net profit of between Rs 3.6 crore and Rs 4.5 crore. On the other hand, Motilal Oswal expects Paytm to report a net loss of Rs 112 crore, though that would be narrower than previous quarters.

According to JM Financial, revenue is expected to reach Rs 1,975 crore, representing an increase of 13% year over year and 8% quarter over quarter. Nonetheless, it anticipates that the business will report an EBITDA loss of Rs 65 crore, which would represent a 71% improvement on an annual and sequential basis. JM Financial anticipates an EBITDA margin of -3.3%, which represents a significant improvement of 8.89 percentage points from quarter to quarter and 6.6 percentage points from year to year.

With a slightly more optimistic revenue forecast of Rs 2,098 crore, Motilal Oswal is up 15% from the previous quarter but down 7.5% year over year. With reduced depreciation expenses, increased payouts, and enhanced Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), the brokerage expects better operating performance. Additionally, it pointed out that UPI incentives might increase revenue even more and identified future EBITDA guidance as a crucial metric to watch.

Investors will be watching Paytm's profitability metrics, disbursement growth, and management commentary on margins and business strategy as they await its earnings report. The findings may help determine whether the fintech major is headed toward long-term profitability.
