Even though the IPO- Nasdaq market has begun to thaw, it will take a lot of work for fintech businesses to get widespread investor interest. It has been challenging for fintech to sustain greater valuations due to the cautious mindset of investors, increased cash-burn rates, dismal share, and mounting losses.

Industry analysts expect fintech to get into action,where businesses like Stripe, Chime, Klarna, and Acorns are viewed as top IPO possibilities. IPO experts warn that in today’s profit-driven market, a fintech that has stuck to its expansion and market share strategies may struggle.

Fintech stocks with high exposure to subprime customers have been hit hard by the industry’s boom-and-bust cycle during the recent pandemic and rising interest rates. Startups with strong fundamentals and consistent income streams are more likely to succeed when interest rates rise than those with a high cash burn rate.

Investor confidence has been further eroded by the underwhelming performance of publicly traded fintech firms. Companies like Robinhood, Coinbase, and Affirm Holdings have lost billions in market value since coming public. Fintechs, with their rapid expansion, are finding it harder to defend their price tags as investors turn their attention from revenue to earnings.

To attract investors, companies that want to go public need to demonstrate that they are serious about decreasing costs and being open about their efforts. Large companies with enough cash may still advance their IPO plans even if the IPO market slows down.
