FinVolution shares surge 53% following InvestingPro’s undervalued call

When InvestingPro’s Fair Value models identified FinVolution Group (NYSE:FINV) as significantly undervalued in March 2024, the fintech company’s shares were trading at just $5.02. Thirteen months later, investors who followed this analysis have seen their investment grow by 53%, highlighting the power of data-driven valuation analysis. For investors seeking similar opportunities, InvestingPro’s Most undervalued list continues to identify potentially mispriced stocks using the same proven methodology.

FinVolution Group, a leading fintech platform in China with growing international operations, connects underserved borrowers with financial institutions. When InvestingPro’s models flagged the stock, the company was generating annual revenue of $1.78 billion with EBITDA of $969.6 million, suggesting strong fundamentals despite its modest valuation. The company’s robust financial health score of 3.84 out of 5 further supported the undervalued thesis.

The Fair Value analysis projected 35.66% upside potential, a target that was not only reached but substantially exceeded. Since the initial signal, FinVolution has demonstrated impressive fundamental improvements, with current revenue reaching $1.79 billion and EBITDA expanding to $988 million. The company’s earnings per share have grown from $1.20 to $1.27, validating InvestingPro’s initial assessment.

Recent developments have continued to support the bullish thesis. The company reported strong Q1 2025 results, highlighting successful international expansion efforts. Major financial institutions have taken notice, with Citi recently raising its price target to $11, suggesting further upside potential. The company’s consistent quarterly performance and growing international transaction volume demonstrate the strength of its business model.

InvestingPro’s Fair Value methodology combines multiple valuation approaches, including discounted cash flow analysis, peer comparisons, and analyst consensus targets, to identify mispriced securities. This comprehensive approach helped detect FinVolution’s undervaluation despite market uncertainties and volatile trading conditions in early 2024.
