As per my analysis, Profit Before Tax has been trending downward in the past 4 years.
It has dropped from 1400 to 1050 Crores in the past 4-5 years.
Net Profit is also under pressure due to this.
As mentioned in this thread, they are expanding their Agents network and the revenue per agent is not yet up to the mark. So overall except growth in premiums, all other profitability parameters are under stress after acquisition of Exide Life.

It seems that, Management may need more time to show increase in profit parameters. Market may not be happy with this scenario of low or nil growth in PAT, hence Stock price is also under constant pressure.

Paytm’s Marketing & Financial Svcs Biz Will Not Affected Due To RBI’s Curbs: Vijay Shekhar Sharma

any comments?
2 things is clearly gone, and that is wallet and fastag. Everything will be done with separate banking partners, like lending, PoS or QR. So, then what is the difference between PayTM and other fintechs like GPay and PhonePe. Especially PhonePe which provides almost similar suite of services like PayTM. The main difference was wallet, Fastag and Bank (ability to raise deposits, which can then be lent to customers). So, there might be issue of competitive pressure as well. This doesn’t look like an existential question as people are making it, but surely it will delay profitability in far future.

Thanks, any sources for above ?
