How public market caution may shape private fintech company valuations

The stock market decline has brought public valuations to the forefront, along with questions about the future of their private counterparts. In the fintech sector, investors are finding that there's no substitute for core profitability—and their patience might be waning.

Our Fintech Q2 Public Company Valuation Guide tracks stock performance, revenue forecasts and market caps of key publicly traded fintech companies, diving into data that can help illuminate the potential impact of public comps on the private markets. Among the takeaways:

Insurtech stocks have dropped 65% from their peak, outpacing broader market declines, and companies may face investor pressure to restructure or sell.

Four of the five companies in the neobanks, brokers and crypto segment are expected to generate negative earnings through 2024.

Stock prices for high-growth payments and fintech companies have fallen 59% from their peak, yet attractive margins might make public investors more patient with the payments sector.
