Galliano’s Financials Research

Galliano's Financials Research provides fundamental research in Emerging Markets financials, including FinTech, as well as financials in select Developed Markets.

The investment style applied is generally value oriented, although Growth At Reasonable Price (GARP) strategies can also be used where appropriate. 

Our investment research approach aim is often contrarian, looking to capitalise on overly sceptical or optimistic consensus views. In terms of valuation techniques, the focus is on PBV ratio to ROE, PE multiples and dividend yield, as well as the application of PEG ratios and, where appropriate, Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuations.

<ul>
<li>Our initial PicPay report assumed a post-money IPO valuation of USD2.5bn; the disclosed price range implies an IPO valuation of USD2.07bn to USD2.53bn, with between USD365m and USD500m being raised</li>
<li>The key challenge we see for PicPay is credit quality; stage 3 loans to total loans have risen fast, despite secured loans accounting for 70%+ of the total</li>
<li>We believe that PicPay is more comparable to Banco Pan not Inter and certainly not Nubank; therefore, we see more appropriate IPO pricing at the bottom of the range (USD16)</li>
