The recovery from the RBI crisis is real, the merchant ecosystem is rebuilding, and EBITDA profitability is within reach. For risk-tolerant investors with a 12-18 month view, the Rs.960-1,100 range offers a credible target if financial services revenue scales. For conservative investors, the Rs.600 bear case from Goldman Sachs is a sobering reminder that the regulatory risk never fully disappears for India&#8217;s most regulated fintech.<\/p><p>This article is for informational and educational purposes only.
