Fintech valuations adjust as market fears weigh on returns
The first quarter of 2025 was a roller coaster for fintech stocks, reflecting movements in the broader market. Concerns over a global trade war, stagflation, and weaker consumer confidence forced a recalibration of valuations, leaving most fintech segments in the red. Some cohorts saw median returns drop by double digits, such as high-growth fintech and high-growth payments, which include companies such as Ibotta, Alkami Technology, and Block. Meanwhile, Klarna and eToro have delayed their IPOs amid the market uncertainty.
