Paytm’s strong Q1 FY27 growth, expanding EBITDA margins and financial-services momentum prompted major brokerages to raise targets. Merchant GMV, device deployment and user activity increased, while management targets 15-20% EBITDA margins over the next two to three years.

Why this matters

The results follow Paytm’s plan for roughly 50,000 retail outlets and its push into merchant AI SaaS and a wallet licence as financial-services revenue rises.
