In this episode of The Acid Capitalist, Hugh Hendry dives into the volatile world of FinTech, analyzing Wise and its market positioning compared to giants like PayPal. He shares insights from an encounter with a young, die-hard value investor, dissecting the risks of stock-picking in a sector riddled with landmines.
Are FinTech disruptors truly innovative, or are they just banks in disguise riding the interest rate wave? Hugh breaks down the hidden risks of cash transfer companies, the role of interest income, and why pricing wars could push margins to zero. With PayPal’s stock crumbling and Wise at an all-time high, is this the next big breakout or a ticking time bomb?
Join Hugh as he takes a contrarian look at the forces shaping FinTechs, from the battle for profitability to the long-term sustainability.
