of expectations. The company also raised guidance for the year with the implied Jack Evans

the business remaining strong. The company also continued to highlight their new AI Goldman Sachs India SPL

products, Billio and Bill Wallet, which allow PAY’s customers to enable agentic

interaction with their end customers and also accept payments. Overall, Paymentus

continues to deliver a string of strong quarters against their guidance. We believe

PAY presents attractive exposure to non-cyclical payments digitization and operates

in a fragmented market of enterprise billers where PAY has been able to take

considerable share. While PAY has continued to deliver consistent market share

gains, we believe this is already reflected in PAY’s multiple at ~24x our 2027 EBITDA –

SBC estimates. Thus, we remain Neutral rated, and look for signs of an acceleration in

top line or an acceleration in margin leverage to get more constructive.
