OVERTUDE TO FINTECH Fintech has become one of the most commonly used terms in today's startup scene, but few people really comprehend its evolution or can define its scope. Fintech refers to innovative technologies that aim to improve and automate the usage and supply of financial services. Services in this area range from mobile payment apps to cryptocurrency. When the word 'fintech' was initially used, it referred to the back-end technology systems of financial organizations such as banks, which included activities such as international money transfers and mobile check depositing. With time, the term's definition grew to include areas such as financial education, retail banking, non-profit fundraising, and investment management. India has been one of the world's most rapid adopters of the fintech revolution. According to the Fintech Market in India 2021 Report, India had the greatest fintech adoption rate (87%) in 2020, and the Indian fintech market is presently valued at $31 billion, with a forecasted value of $84 billion by 2025. Over 67% of India's 2,100+ FinTech companies were founded in the last five years. Over the last few years, India's Fintech sector has seen an exponential increase in capital, with investments totalling more than $8 billion already made across various phases of investment in 2021. Now fintech is not just limited to the Finance sector. It has seeped through healthcare, Education, and Telecommunication industries as well.
Because of the increase in the number of startups in the Fintech market, the Indian Fintech market is fragmented. Fintech startups funded by global investors are actively competing in the market and posing challenges to established market players in India. The market is being driven by government initiatives toward a cashless economy, smartphone penetration, and a variety of other factors. But the sector is still in its nascent stage. To shape the future of fintech and push it in a productive direction, both entrepreneurs and regulators will need to work hard. Only through collaborative and open practices based on global fintech intelligence can meaningful customization of tools and processes allow for the growth and scaling-up of fintech products, services, and approaches. We will now see some of the companies that have adopted fintech in different sectors and are listed in the stock market and how an investor can gain from investing in the same.

Investors frequently use the industry PE ratio as a benchmark for stock valuation. The P/E ratio steadily increased from the fiscal year 2016-17 to 2018-19, but it saw a fall in the year 2019-2020. But in the year 2020-21, it saw a significant increase to 69.99. ROE assesses a company's profitability in relation to its stockholders' equity. The ROE of the company went on an increase-decrease trend for the past 5 years. The price-to-book value ratio was on an increasing trend until 2018-19 when it hit a low point. However, in 2020-21, the price-to-book value ratio is on the growing side. The Book value has been on an increasing trend and looking at the trend for the past 5 years, we can assume it will keep increasing in future. Higher earnings per share (EPS) indicates that a company is more valuable. Over the past 5 years, the EPS has seen a significant improvement. Bajaj Finance (BAF) has increased its loan book at a CAGR of 35% and PAT at a CAGR of 33% during the last decade (FY11-21), with an average ROE of 20%.
Trend Analysis
BAJAJ FINANCE
- Anwesa Nayak
According to the trendline above, Bajaj Finance Ltd.’s stock hit a 52-week high of Rs.7929.30. In addition, the stock has reached its 52-week low of Rs.4479.60, indicating that it is acting as a buying opportunity for all investors. There is a positive trend going forward, as stock returns for the last 5 years are swinging upwards because purchasers are accumulating long positions to maximize their wealth, and the company's fundamentals are strong. Given the exponentially greater growth rates it has generated, Bajaj Finance has always been highly respected. Following the announcement of the digital transition, investors began to value the company as a fintech, pushing its valuations even higher.
Future Outlook Smartphone penetration, an increase in internet users, the availability of data from several credit bureaus, and easy access to finance have all contributed to the emergence of multiple fintech businesses in recent years. The new digital platform from Bajaj Finance Ltd is a step ahead in terms of offering services similar to those offered by fintech apps like Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay. While phase one of the business transformation journey focused on laying a firm foundation, phase two focuses on improving the customer experience by providing new features and expanding on existing capabilities.

INTELLECT DESIGN ARENA

The price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) shows whether a company's stock price is exaggerated or underestimated. The P/E proportion shows what the market will pay today for stock because of its past or future profit. A high P/E could imply that a stock's price is high compared with income and conceivably exaggerated. Then again, a low P/E could demonstrate that the current stock price is low compared with earnings. Indeed, it tends to be broken down that in the year 2016-17 the company showed negative returns, yet the following year the PE proportion saw a decent ascent. Well, this can be because in 2016 Intellect Payments Limited and M/s Intellect India Limited were incorporated as direct subsidiaries of Intellect Design Arena Limited. After that, there was a major decline for 2 consecutive years and was negative in the year 2019. But even after the pandemic outbreak, the company performed and managed to generate a high PE ratio in 2021, higher than the industry PE, indicating the company is doing well in the eyes of the investors. Return on Equity (ROE) is a check of a company's benefit and how effectively it creates those benefits. A decent ROE goes from 15%-20%. In the years 2016 and 2020, the ROE was negative, demonstrating monetary trouble for the two years. In the year 2021, the company changed negative ROE over to positive as well as created great ROE demonstrating sound working and great benefits for investors. The Price-to-book ratio is used by investors to check whether a company's stock expense is regarded suitably. High-development companies will regularly show a price-to-book ratio well above 1.0. The ratio has been on the ascent, showing development which drops in 2020. Be that as it may, the ratio rose definitely in the year 2021, i.e., 8.29. This demonstrates the company has performed and has a splendid future and is great for well. Book value per share is the aggregate that investors would get if the firm exchanged, each of the substantial resources was sold and every one of the liabilities was paid. Notwithstanding, its worth lies in the way that investors use it to measure whether a stock price is underestimated by contrasting it with the company's reasonable worth per share. Assuming a company’s BVPS is higher than its fairly estimated worth per share, which is its market value, then the stock is viewed as underestimated. This stock is overvalued as compared to the current market price. Only in the year 2019 did it decrease, indicating that investors had to pay a high price to buy the shares of the company. EPS demonstrates the company's productivity by showing how much cash a business makes for each portion of its stock. The EPS is still up in the air by partitioning the company's net profit from its exceptional portions of not unexpected stock. Notwithstanding, it is considered the higher the EPS number, the more beneficial the company. For the years 2016 and 2019, the EPS has been negative and has not been very healthy for other years as well. It has still managed to outperform in 2021 from negative to positive, bringing a 90% increase in its value, and the highest in the last 5 years, indicating that the company is in the right direction and may give good returns to its investors in the future.

Future Outlook The Reserve Bank of India has awarded Intellect Design Arena Ltd. a large multi-million-dollar destiny contract (RBI).

To power the next stage of its digital transformation agenda, the RBI has decided to use an upgraded version of the award-winning Cloud-Native Intellect Quantum Core Banking solution.

IColumbus.ai is a trade finance Artificial Intelligence powerhouse that enables the extraction, validation, remediation, and enrichment of machine-readable data while dramatically reducing the time, cost, and risk traditionally associated with manual compliance checks. Since 2018, fintech has sparked maximum interest among venture capital investors, keen to put their money in Indian start-ups. The rising demand for technology-enabled fintech products across a fast-growing addressable market is the primary reason behind sustained investor confidence toward fintech start-ups during the past four years. India’s overall fintech market opportunity is estimated to be $1.3 Tn by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 31% during 2021-2025. Although the industry has a good investment opportunity it is advisable for the investors to do detailed research work before investing.

KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK
- Chaithanya N Reddy
The PE ratio of the company has been in the same range for the past five years indicating that the stock’s value hasn’t changed much. An increase was seen in FY 2020-21 to 34.69 which indicates that the company might have pioneered new trends or created novel productivity solutions as investors are ready to pay a premium for potential growth in earnings. The Return on equity for KMB remained nearly the same for the last five years suggesting that the company is generating more or less the same amount of profits. The price-to-book ratio has fluctuated on the same scale and since it is more than 1, it shows that the share price of the stock is trading at a premium value as compared to the book value of the company. The book value is on an upward trend for the past five years indicating that the stock’s value has increased. It can also mean that the company is using the generated profits to buy more assets or to reduce liabilities. Increasing earnings per share show that the company is making more income to distribute to its shareholders and also the company's efficiency in terms of its business opportunities.
Trend Analysis
In the above trendline, it can be observed that the stock had been bearish but went bullish to hit its 52-week high, ₹2,253.00 in October 2021, and went back to being bearish. The stock hit its 52-week low of ₹1,626.00 in August 2021. The stock is currently worth more than its intrinsic value. Also, the stock has been generating better returns than bank FD. Although the stock does not offer attractive dividend returns it is a good time to consider as it is not in the overbought zone. Investors can consider the stock for a long-term investment as long as the stock gave a 32.4% return in the past 3 years. The investors are advised to invest in and hold the stock for now.
KOTAK MAHINDRA BANK

Future Outlook Kotak Mahindra Bank has opened up opportunities for tech companies to collaborate with it in areas like data analytics, AI, IoT, VR, Blockchain, etc to provide solutions that can digitalize the economy, increase productivity and boost businesses. The bank has tie-ups with digital lending platforms like EarnWealth Solutions, Paisabazaar, My Loancare Ventures, Sahas Technologies, etc and it is looking for more platforms to tie up with. In collaboration with NASSCOM, Kotak Mahindra Bank (Kotak) announced the inauguration of an exclusive co-creation program for start-ups and fintech in 2018. This Program created a collaborative and innovative ecosystem for digital payments start-ups & fintech and allowed them to join the program to seek mentorship and a chance to work together with Kotak's Innovation Lab. Kotak Mahindra has remained afloat through several financial crises including the Great Recession of 2007-09. The main help to get through this was Mr Kotak's principle, "return of capital is more important than return on capital". And it doesn't hurt to follow this philosophy in our investing lives too!

Policy bazaar is currently unprofitable and is forecasted to remain unprofitable over the next three years. However, the company’s revenue growth at 29.4% per year is forecasted to grow faster than the market growth of 12.8% per year. The PE ratio is used for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its earnings per share (EPS). Since PB Fintech Ltd is unprofitable, we cannot compare its PE ratio to industrial PE. The P/B ratio compares a company's market value to its book value. Investors use the P/B ratio to find possible investments since the market value of the stock is often higher than the book value of a firm.P/B ratios of less than one are usually considered safe bets. Policy bazaar is overvalued based on the PB ratio at 17.3x as compared to the industry average of 7.4x. The company's short-term assets exceed the company’s short-term and long-term liabilities. It is debt-free and had no debt for the past 5 years which is good news as the company has no fixed cost and has a huge bandwidth to procure loans for the future.
Trend Analysis
PB FINTECH
- H K Aishwarya Ungarala
The shares of the company are currently trading at Rs. 766.3 per share with zero dividend payout. It enjoys a market capitalization of Rs. 34445 Cr. However, there exists a downward trend in the share prices of the company over the past year, and the prices have been highly volatile over the past three months.
Future Outlook Insurance is a long-term penetration that relies heavily on distribution. Although India produced Rs 8,30,000 crore in premiums in FY21, it has one of the greatest insurance 'protection gaps' among major countries. Policybazaar is projected to be at the forefront of increasing insurance penetration in the nation due to its monopolistic posture and extensive insurer coverage. The insurance business is expected to grow at a 31% / 32% CAGR between FY21 and FY31. While a minor loss of market share in online distribution as a result of insurers' direct channel investments and newer competitors is predicted, this loss will be more than offset by the company's expansion in physical distribution. Policybazaar is establishing a larger renewal base with greater contribution margins due to low CAC by generating incremental insurance premiums every month. At the same time, the company's AI initiatives are intended to save fulfilment costs by automating customer assistance and policy issuing. Operating profitability will be achieved by FY26 as a result of these variables combined with operating leverage. The brokerage company has initiated a hold on the stock with a target price of Rs 1,270 and considerable medium-term upside risks. It values PB Fintech at 8x EV/Revenue and 35x EV/EBITDA as of Mar'30 to account for long-term growth while reducing the effect of near-term one-offs. PB Fintech reported a consolidated loss of Rs 150.24 crore in FY21, a significant decrease from the loss of Rs 304.03 crore in FY20. Revenue from operations, on the other hand, had increased significantly, rising to Rs 886.66 crore in FY21 from Rs 771.3 crore in FY20, a 15% increase. Though based on the current data, the company looks underperforming, the future holds promising results. Instead of jumping to quick conclusions, it is advised to observe the company more closely over the coming times and then invest accordingly to reap maximum profits. In case you already hold the company’s shares in your portfolio, hold on to them tightly and remain patient.

When compared to companies with a lower P/E, a high P/E indicates that investors expect higher earnings growth in the future. From fiscal years 16-17 to 17-18, the PE ratio increased from 6.56 to 11.48, but then began to decline until fiscal year 20-21. According to industry norms, a lower ratio than the industry average indicates that the company is less expensive than its rivals, which may appeal to investors searching for bargains. The return on investment (ROI) is particularly useful for comparing the performance of organizations in the same industry. Though the ROE was relatively stable in the fiscal year 201920, it grew in the fiscal year 2020-21. In terms of return on equity, stocks have consistently outpaced bank FDs. Investors should invest in the stock if the long-term average ROE is higher than the fixed deposit rate. A high P/B ratio means the company is expensive, while a low P/B means the stock is undervalued. From FY 2016-17 to 2017-18, the PB ratio appeared to be decreasing but then increased in 2018-19. Finally, compared to the previous fiscal year, the PB ratio for FY 2020-21 increased. The book value is the amount of money a company could get if all of its assets were sold at current market prices. Because stock prices are frequently greater than book value, a P/B ratio of less than 1.0 signals a good deal. A P/B of 3.0 is frequently used as a favourable criterion by value investors. From FY 2016-17 to FY 2020-21, 3i Infotech's BV has steadily increased. Because the stock is not overbought, it is a good moment to buy. High earnings per share (EPS) show that the company is profitable and has more profits to offer to its shareholders. Companies can, however, increase their EPS by reducing the number of outstanding shares through stock buybacks. The EPS of 3i Infotech has increased from FY 201617 to FY 2020-21. A high dividend yield indicates that the company is in good health and has a bright future. The dividend yield on 3i Infotech's stock isn't declared.

The financials from the last five years are shown in the table above. We can see that the company's performance has improved over time, which is a positive sign for investors. The return on equity has fluctuated significantly throughout the years, but it now stands at 25.77%, demonstrating that the company is spending its shareholders' money and boosting earnings. Looking at the book value, which has nearly doubled in the last few years, stock prices should rise in lockstep with the book value. Earnings per share has nearly doubled in the last five years, indicating a significant increase in the company's value. As a result, shareholders who invested in the last five years have benefited as their wealth has increased rapidly. Moreover, the dividend payout has increased by double, providing greater value to stockholders. Info edge limited has a diverse range of competitors in different segments of the market, here are a few of the major competitors of the company Zomato Limited, IRCTC, One97 Communications, FSN E-commerce India Mart Intermesh Ltd. The PE ratio of the company is good but when compared to its competitors it is very less, therefore if they want to attract more investors, they have to make more profits using the investments. The price to book ratio is 10 times which means the share is overvalued and also helps investors to earn but other competitors’ ratio is very high which means the customers can make profits investing there. The EPS of the company is the highest among the competitors which is an advantage to them and also, they are dividend to investors which grabs more attention to these shares.
Trend Analysis
INFOEDGE
- Mehak Bhojwani
In the last year, the company saw a bull run at the beginning of the year but towards the end, there is a continuous fall due decrease in profits compared to the previous quarter and uncertainty caused by Russia and Ukraine war which led to an increase in inflation and fall in global markets including India.
Looking at the yearly trend of the company we see a bullish trend, but in the past quarter the trend broke, there is a higher probability that after some more breaks the bullish trend will be observed looking at the profitability and growth of the company.
Future Outlook The company's vision is to develop and transform the digital world. These industries have a long-term outlook, which aids in wealth creation. Currently, the company has penetrated markets ranging from Naukri to real estate, with further investments in unicorns like Zomato and Policy Bazar. The firm has invested Rs. 21 crores in Adda247, a digital education platform, and Rs. 5 crores in Terralytics, a real estate start-up. The firm is investing in ventures that are either rivals or new businesses. Over the last ten years, revenue has gone up significantly at 19.19% CAGR. As a result, several mutual fund firms, including Axis Mutual Funds, Aditya Birla Life, and ICICI Prudential Life, have invested in this company, demonstrating that it is a strong long-term investment.

Even if the company is showing a negative PE ratio, it does not mean the company is losing money or is a sign of impending bankruptcy. It could be due to environmental changes that aren’t in control of the business, or any negative incidents within the business itself. Also, it is very common for tech stocks to have little to no revenue and high expenses. Although the PE ratio rose steadily from fiscal year 16-17 to 17-18, it was followed by a negative trend in 18-19 and 19-20. But in fiscal year 20-21, there was a significant improvement of 72.32% increase compared to year 19-20. Analyzing by industry standards, a lower ratio than the industry average means that the stock is less costly than its peers which can be attractive to investors who are looking for low-priced stocks. For most firms, an ROE level of around 10% is considered strong and covers costs of capital. While a negative return is rarely desired, it`s sometimes important to determine the causes of a negative return if possible. Most companies post a negative return in their early years, due mainly to the significant costs of start-ups, including capital expenditures – investments in equipment and other major assets. Also, the market rupture due to the pandemic is the reason the company posted negative returns. But operating profit has grown well for the company over the past 3 years: 3-year CAGR of 66.30% Value investors typically use ratios like the price-to-book value ratio to determine if a company's stock is overvalued or undervalued. It shows the relationship between the market's perceived value of a company's stock and the company's actual book value. A P / B ratio greater than 1 indicates that the market value is higher than the book value and the investors are willing to pay a premium due to expected future returns. The upward trend of the price-to-book value ratio can be seen until 2018-19 when there was a slump. Nevertheless, the price-to-book value ratio is on the rise in 2020-21. The book value is used as an indicator of the value of a company’s stock, and it can be used to predict the possible market price of a share at a given time in the future. Although the BV has been on an increasing trend till 2018-19, it took a slight dip in 2019-20 followed by a recovery in 2020-21. Comparing it with the current market Price (Rs 62), and the PE ratio of the sector, we can say that the stock is overvalued. It means there is a possibility that the price will correct itself. But investors shouldn't panic. Because market value includes profitability, intangibles, and future growth prospects, it tends to be greater than book value. EPS serves as an indicator of a company's profitability. Although EPS is negative due to loss posted in the last 5 years, a negative EPS does not mean a badly managed company as it is pretty standard for a technology-based company to display negative EPS due to heavy investments and marketing. Although there has been an improvement in EPS in the last 5 years from FY 2016-17(-13.25) to FY 2020-21(-0.73) of 94.49%.

According to the trendline above, Niyogin Fintech Ltd.’s stock has been in a bearish cycle for the past 12 months. Last year, Niyogin Fintech Ltd.’s volatility was 2.65% higher than the S & P BSE Sensex's volatility. However, there is a positive trend going forward, as stock returns for the last 5 years are 258.38%. Also, this company has a positive expansion plan and can be recommended as part of the investor's portfolio if the investor is ready to take a risk but the stock movements should be watched closely.
Future Outlook Niyogin Fintech, recently announced that its board has approved plans to invest Rs 100 crore to boost growth which will enable the company to expand the addressable market and add multiple products to make this the most comprehensive fintech infrastructure platform. Also, it had acquired a 51% strategic and controlling stake in iServeU for Rs 592 million. This is a step taken by the board to realize the company’s vision of a full-stack digital platform to bring bestin-class products and services on the platform using its unique platform through a network of financial professionals. This acquisition offers multiple product complementarities such as credit, digital wealth, and payments among others. Also, it had acquired a 50.1% stake in wealth management platform Moneyfront for ₹12 crores. As per a NASSCOM report, in 2018 around 400 fintech companies were operating in India and the number is constantly growing. This sector is in its nascent stage but set to skyrocket in the years to come. This is the right time to invest in as a sector it’s still not overbooked. Although the fintech companies have huge investment potential, are low risk and lucrative compared to many other investment options, investors are advised to do proper research before investing the same.

Future Outlook While FinTech innovations have been lightning-fast, we have only scratched the surface of what is conceivable and expected to happen in the next years. FinTech is transforming our lives and habits by allowing us to trade, bank, and exchange money without having to deal with a human. However, the financial sector faces several obstacles to overcome, particularly in the areas of regulation and data protection, to gain customer trust and completely overtake the market. With big data, blockchain, AI, and a slew of other technological advancements already in use or on the horizon, company leaders should seize the moment and embrace FinTech.

CAMS
- Shibasradha Nahak
According to the preceding chart, the stock hit a 52-week high of Rs.4067.4 and then broke through the support zone, resulting in a 42% correction. In addition, the stock has reached its 52-week low of Rs.1741.50, indicating that it is acting as a buying opportunity for all investors. The stock is now trading in a consolidated phase, with a high likelihood of an upswing since buyers are taking long positions to maximize their wealth, as the fundamentals of the company are sound.
Future Outlook Recently, the firm announced the go-live and launch of the National Pension System's Central Record Keeping Agency (CRA) (NPS). As a result, one of the CAMS NPS platform's sub-sections will provide the subscriber services based on its robust technology and core expertise in serving consumers for pension account opening, record keeping, and maintenance. In addition, the company is acquiring a majority stake in Fintuple Technologies Pvt. Ltd., which specializes in client digital onboarding, KYC, fund data, Fact sheets and analysis, and other digital support solutions for AIF and PMS, and this synergy can help solve industry problems and create frictionless business experiences. As a result of the CAMS AIF platform, the AIF and PMS industry is expected to develop at a CAGR of 20% over the next decade. The mutual fund industry has risen drastically in the last five years. CAMS' mutual fund clients include four of the top five mutual funds. Because the entrance barrier to this industry is high, and replacing the firm is quite difficult, CAMS has a significant edge in this service business. As a result of this technological power, CAMS may be able to establish a monopoly in various B2B service businesses. So, are you going to pay a higher premium for Fintech's future?

Paytm, which is backed by SoftBank, Alibaba Group, T. Rowe Price, and others, generated $382 million in total operating revenue in FY21. It has decreased by 13% from FY19, owing to a declining share of commerce and cloud services revenue. Due to the pandemic, the company's sales from this division decreased significantly, with revenue share falling from 47.5 percent in FY19 to 25 percent in FY21. However, from 52.5 percent in FY19 to 75 percent in FY21, revenue from payments and financial services surged by 22 percentage points.
Trend Analysis
The stock is currently trading 72% lower than its all-time high of Rs 1,961.05. Rising geopolitical tensions between Ukraine and Russia, as well as soaring crude oil prices and uncontrollable global inflation, have dampened market sentiments. Paytm's share price was already in a downward trend, and it is currently experiencing its worst performance. Buying on dips is advised. It is an excellent opportunity for the market's long-term players. It does, however, require a little more consolidation at the lower levels. Short-term investors can now buy on dips for short-term gains, while long-term investors can accumulate on dips.
Conclusion Paytm is based on what is growing in India's internet ecosystem, what people want to do online, and what services we can provide to those customers, so that is how we look about our environment, which is a static ecosystem.

In India, there are numerous payment platforms such as Paytm. None, though, has been able to carve out a place for itself quite like this finance unicorn. Paytm is the market leader because to its extensive security measures. The Reserve Bank of India has approved the Paytm Wallet. While demonetization created its dominance in the market on its own, its sheer ease of use, availability in multiple regional languages, user-centric experience, and simple interface are all elements that cannot be discounted in its appeal. Paytm Karo is a phrase that many Indians have heard and an action that has been performed by over 330 million customers and 21 million traders. What began as a wallet has grown into a suite of payments and trading apps, and is now transforming into a financial marketplace that provides credit and a variety of services ranging from investments to insurance. With digital payments expected to expand from $ 20 trillion in 2021 to between $ 40 trillion and $ 50 trillion by 2026, Paytm has a lot of room to develop. Paytm is certainly a success story to watch and learn from. However, this does not mean that Paytm's initial public offering (IPO) is a viable investment opportunity. The two topics are vastly different.
