Remitly, a Washington-based financial technology company that focuses on customer-to-customer (C2C) money transfers, is offering a bottom-fishing opportunity for long-term investors, according to an investment thesis by ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. The company went public in late 2021 at a valuation of $7.8 billion, but has since dropped nearly 70% due to macro headwinds such as inflation, rising interest rates and a lack of appetite for high-growth stocks. Remitly has continued to show strong growth and reported Q4 2022 revenue of $191m, up 41% YoY, driven by a strong increase in both customers and volume. The company ended the quarter with $300m in cash and no debt, and expects revenue growth to be 32-35% with adjusted EBITDA between breakeven and $10m for FY23.
The global remittance market is massive, with over 280 million immigrants across the world currently. According to Remitly Global Inc. (NSD:RELY), the total addressable market for global remittance is around $1.6 trillion, and its serviceable addressable market is $589 billion. The majority of the market is for traditional channels such as cheques, however, the market is poised for a transformation, which opens up a lot of opportunities for companies offering digital remittance. The TAM for digital remittance is expected to grow from $21.8 billion in 2022 to $60.1 billion in 2030, representing a strong compounded annual growth rate of 15.6%. Compared to legacy remittance channels that are slow, inconvenient and expensive, digital remittances offer a much better user experience. The transition should continue to be a strong tailwind for Remitly.
Remitly’s valuation looks pretty compelling, currently trading at an EV/sales ratio of just 2.84x. This is in line with other fintech payment companies such as Block (NYE:SQ), Marqeta (NSD:MQ), and Payoneer (NSD:PAYO), which have an average EV/sales ratio of 2.47x. However, Remitly is growing much quicker, therefore, a premium should be justified. Its market opportunity is massive and should allow the company to sustain high top-line growth for a long period of time. Profitability is a potential concern but the company expects adjusted EBITDA to be positive for FY23. Costs and marketing expenses are starting to scale down, and R&D should follow the same trajectory as well.
