Zomato still made some money for those who got the shares in the initial public offering (IPO) but those who got shares in the Paytm IPO have lost 27% on the opening day. <br /><br />By noon, Zomato had a higher market cap than One97 Communications, the listed parent of the digital payments giant Paytm. The overall market mood played a role in pushing down Paytm’s share price, Deven Choksey, managing director of KR Choksey Shares and Securities, told Business Insider. The sell-off seen earlier in the week intensified on Thursday (the day of Paytm’s market Debut) and 42 out of the Nifty 50 stocks were in the red. But that’s not the only reason why people sold Paytm shares. <br /><br /><table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none; table-layout: fixed; width: 468pt;" class="redcator-table-advance"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Company<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Valuation pre-IPO<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Valution sought in IPO</td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Market cap, as on November 18<br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Zomato<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$5.8 billion<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$8.1 billion</td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹1,21,731 crore ($16.3 billion)<br /><br /></td></tr><tr><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">Paytm<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$16 billion<br /><br /></td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">$19.9 billion</td><td style="border-left:solid #000000 1pt;border-right:solid #000000 1pt;border-bottom:solid #000000 1pt;border-top:solid #000000 1pt;vertical-align:top;padding:5pt 5pt 5pt 5pt;overflow:hidden;overflow-wrap:break-word;">₹1,01,399 crore ($13.6 billion)<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody><tbody></tbody></table>Source: Companies, BSE<br /><br />It’s not that Paytm's advisors didn't see it coming. According to a Bloomberg report <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/paytm-may-drop-its-pre-ipo-sale-as-advisors-recommend-lower-valuation/articleshow/87187525.cms">published in October</a>, Paytm was advised to go for a lower valuation than $20 billion in its pre-IPO round but the company decided to skip the round altogether. Even stock brokerage firm Macquarie had given Paytm a with an underperform rating, and projected that the stock may fall to as much as ₹1,200 (compared to an issue price of ₹2,150) any time in the next one year .<br /><br />Interestingly, Paytm was the highest valued Indian startup between 2019 to me this year. The company got a valuation of $19.9 billion in its public issue. The only smile that Paytm believers could steal was thanks to the meme fest on Twitter.<br /><br />                          <div type="image" title="Zomato is now bigger than Paytm — reasons why the market is not excited about Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s vision of a superapp" msid="87778007" hostid="261"></div><br />The drop in Paytm’s share price led to a fall of the stock market. “Today’s fall in the market is also largely due to collateral damage, Paytm loss to investors,” Deven Choksey, managing director of KRChoksey Shares and Securities said.<br /><br />Manoj Dalmia, founder and director of Proficient Equities Private Limited also highlighted three reasons behind Paytm’s weak listing on the stock exchange.

Competition and regulation will drive down unit economics and/or growth prospects in the medium term in our view,” Macquarie Research analysts Suresh Ganapathy and Param Subramanian said. <br /><br /><strong>ALSO WATCH: Even the biggest of conglomerates find it difficult to do more than two things right, market expert Saurabh Mukherjea told Business Insider. <br /></strong><br />                            <div type="Youtube" id="kSf5f3gXjKg" title="A ₹3,000-crore fund manager explains why he won&amp;#39;t buy RIL, why he sold ITC and bought HDFC Life" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kSf5f3gXjKg/mqdefault.jpg"></div><br />Paytm is one of the biggest digital payments companies in India with offerings across several digital modes of payments like unified payments interface (UPI), credit and debit cards payments. It also offers wealth management solutions through Paytm Money and banking services through Paytm Payments Banks.The company has 333 million total customers, 114 million annual transacting users and 21 million registered merchants. <br /><br />Paytm has a strong market share in digital payments via the unified payments interface (UPI) but the margin is zero in peer-to-peer payments and wafer thin when merchants get paid. <br /><br />In the personal finance space ⁠— where Paytm sells mutual funds, gold and stocks ⁠— it has a less than 1% market share and makes zero commission, according to Macquarie. In insurance, only one out of 100 policies are sold online and Paytm is pitted against an early bird like Policybazaar as well as legacy banks, which dominate the space.<br /><br />Paytm aims to make money from its lending business. “Since Paytm will largely be engaged in selling down these loans to partner banks or NBFCs (non-banking financial companies) balance sheets, the addressable fee pool is much lower,” said Macquarie, which pegged the potential market for buy now, pay later schemes to be anywhere between $45 billion and $50 billion by March 2026.<br /><br />                            <div type="image" title="Zomato is now bigger than Paytm — reasons why the market is not excited about Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s vision of a superapp" msid="87778072" hostid="261"></div><br />Despite a massive user base, the company’s revenue has been marginally declining on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. The company reported a revenue of ₹3,186 crore, with net loss of ₹1,761 crore. “Loss-making businesses will find it hard to sustain premium valuations,” Choksey added.<br /><br />Ravi Singh, head of research and vice president at ShareIndia, noted that Paytm’s future growth is a key to watch for long term investors. “We advise the investors after looking at the overall valuations and earlier losses of Paytm, to book their positions and wait for 1700-1600 levels for fresh investment. Retail investors may remain cautious as the overall market is in profit booking zone pushing maximum stocks in downside territory,” he added. <br />                            <div type="image" title="Zomato is now bigger than Paytm — reasons why the market is not excited about Vijay Shekhar Sharma’s vision of a superapp" msid="87778081" hostid="261"></div><br />“People ask me how do you raise money at such a high price? I say, I don’t raise money on a price but I raise money on a purpose,” founder and chief executive officer Vijay Shekhar Sharma. He wanted India to be as excited about his dream of a super app for anything that can be bought and sold online. <br /><br />But many others have argued that a smartphone itself is a super app. Another startup founder Kavin Mittal, the man behind the $1.4 billion Hike Messenger, had similar ambitions but found it to be a misguided goal and dropped the plan in January 2021. <br /><br />Will Sharma prove his detractors wrong with Paytm? Only time will tell. <br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO:<br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/paytm-ipo-listed-at-discount-of-9-starts-trading-at-1955/articleshow/87772082.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">India’s biggest IPO lists 9% below the IPO price and it may fall even further, warn analysts</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/paytm-shares-listing-below-ipo-price-but-experts-say-not-to-invest/articleshow/87762352.cms">Paytm is likely to list below IPO price and experts advice serious investors to wait a while before buying</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/itc-reportedly-plans-to-spin-out-it-business-itc-infotech/articleshow/87758056.cms">ITC has a ₹2,500 crore IT business hiding in plain sight and that makes the street go Yippee!</a><br />

This is 9% lower than the issue price of ₹2,150. And, analysts at Macquarie have warned that the stock may go down a lot more before it becomes attractive. <br /><br />Analysts at Macquarie, a global investment bank, have set the target price for Paytm at ₹1,200, that’s 44% below the price at which IPO investors got their shares. Macquarie cited the high price of the IPO and the intense competition from the likes of Amazon, Google and Flipkart for its pessimism around Paytm.<br /><br />“People ask me how do you raise money at such a high price? I say, I don’t raise money on a price but I raise money on a purpose,” said One97 Communications founder and chief executive (CEO) Vijay Shekhar Sharma in his address before the listing ceremony at the BombayStock Exchange.<br /><br />Paytm's shares were trading at ₹1,673 at 12:22 p.m., a discount of nearly 22%. The closing price for November 18 was ₹1564, which is 27% below the issue price.<br /><br /><strong>Paytm is still bigger than Britannia, Bajaj Auto and Zomato<br /></strong><br />The Noida-based Paytm listed at a market cap of ₹1,26,737 crore ($17 billion), which is nearly $3 billion lower than the $19.3 billion-$19.9 billion valuation of the public issue. <br /><br />The fear around the price had set in long before the listing. Paytm’s grey market premium (GMP) — a price at which the share prices are being traded at in the grey market — tumbled down from ₹130 on the first day of bidding on November 8 to a negative ₹30 on Wednesday (November 17). <br /><br />This means that the traders in the grey market are willing to buy the shares at ₹2,130, about ₹20 lower than the issue price.<br /><br />The initial public offering (IPO) by Paytm — owned by Vijay Shekhar Sharma-led One97Communication — is the biggest public issue India has ever witnessed and it surpassed Coal India’s public issue worth ₹15,000 crore executed a decade ago.<br /><br /><div type="twitter" handle="vijayshekhar" handlename="Vijay Shekhar Sharma" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/813598012173754368/MnHjJnCv_normal.jpg" favoritecount="2066" retweetcount="103" status="Man, I can feel for our cricket team!

That reflected a 38% slump in e-commerce and cloud services revenue, which offset sales growth of 24% in the payment and financial-services division. However, a sharp reduction in marketing and promotional expenses meant Paytm's after-tax loss shrunk 42% to $228 million.</p>
