Investing.com - Piper Sandler has initiated coverage on Chime Financial (NASDAQ:CHYM) with an Overweight rating and a price target of $40.00, representing a significant upside from the current price of $31.32. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears undervalued, with 8 additional key insights available to subscribers.
The research firm believes Chime is well-positioned to further penetrate a large addressable market of approximately 200 million Americans earning less than $100,000 annually.
Piper Sandler noted that while this customer segment might be considered "low quality" by traditional banking standards, Chime’s innovative fee-based servicing approach has created a "high upside" opportunity by democratizing credit and liquidity products for Americans who need them most.
The firm views Chime’s recently launched MyPay offering as a bellwether for future customer growth that should experience accelerated adoption in coming quarters.
Piper Sandler expects the MyPay service will ultimately produce much higher levels of profitability for Chime Financial.
