However, India continues to be a cash-driven economy which underscores the opportunity. Due to government initiatives, improving technology, growing awareness, digital payments by value in India are expected to more than double from $20 trillion in FY21 to $40-50 trillion by FY26, according to RedSeer. <div class="content-highlight">As India’s largest payments platform, Paytm is well placed to benefit from this structural tailwind. The advent of UPI has increased competition (Google Pay, PhonePe, MobiKwik) but Paytm is also leveraging its dominance in digital payments to build a synergistic ecosystem of complementary services, resulting in a strong claim to the “super-app” tag.

Insights across South East Asia

Equity Bottom-Up

Many investors worried about a few things on <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/my-eg-services-bhd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19765:1" rel="noopener">My E.G. Services (MYEG MK)</a> including ties with the previous administration that will potentially cause loss of concession (corporate governance), and whether earnings stability is sustainable. 
The company's valuation is still undervalued compared to its peers when the management has taken a dynamic and active approach to launch new initiatives such as online groceries and health screening services for COVID-19. 
Investors should book some profit on the recent share price strengthening but I will suggest selling a part or 50% of the current position as the company and management offers an excellent long-term prospect across the market cycle and when the hype is done and stock will weaken a little, take that opportunity for a better entry point. 
This insight is labeled as bearish to reflect the action that investors should take given the share price increase. The insight provider is still bullish on the long-term's company's prospect.
