Outlook & Valuation:
The revenues of the company have seen consistent growth in the last 3 years. The company's revenue for FY 2021 was at Rs 791 crore VS Rs 691 cr in FY 2020 while profit for the year in the FY 2021 was Rs 20.4 cr Vs loss of Rs 32 cr in 2020. The company has a brief history while the margins of the company might expand. Fino Payment is a fast-growing fintech company and it is one of its kind company to list on the stock exchanges. If we consider last year's profit then the PE ratio turns out to be around 235 however it has carried forward losses which is a major concern. Its unique DTP network and new edge business model may garner investors' interest while we have an "AVOID" rating for this on the back of expensive valuation and regulatory risk.
