Findi Limited (ASX: FND) 

Findi Limited (ASX: FND) is a digital payments and financial services provider in India. The company offers tailored and adaptable payment solutions that are crucial to the growth of India’s digital banking landscape.  It is a non-bank ATM operator across cash and digital transaction ecosystems.

Recommendation Rationale – SELL at AUD 5.65

  • Trading Around Resistance: FND’s share price surpassed its R1 level recommended on 4 October 2024.
  • Overvalued Multiples: On a TTM basis, the stock is trading at P/B multiple of 7.3x vs Industry (Technology) average of 2.2x, and thus seems overvalued.
  • Increase in Borrowings: At 31 March 2024, the company had AUD 26.929mn net debt. A higher level of debt leads to increased interest payments, which raises the risk of defaulting on those payments.
  • Technical Commentary: On the daily chart, FND’s stock prices are experiencing an uptrend, indicating a positive bias. In contrast, the momentum oscillator RSI (14-period) is trading near its oversold region, anticipating a potential minor correction. Prices are trading above both 21-period and 50-period SMAs, which might serve as dynamic support levels for the stock; in contrast, the 2020 high may act as a resistance.
  • Emerging Risks: The FinTech industry is highly sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. Any downturn in the economy or reduction in Financial Services activity could adversely affect FND's revenues and profitability. The company relies on technology for its services. Cybersecurity threats, system failures, or technology malfunctions could lead to financial losses and damage to reputation.
