With its reverse flipping plans in full motion, fintech unicorn Pine Labs is now eyeing an initial public offering (IPO) of $1 Bn (about INR 8,300 Cr) in India👇 The company is likely to seek a valuation of over $6 Bn for the IPO. This is the fintech unicorn’s second attempt at a public listing. Earlier, it filed IPO documents with the US SEC but didn’t go ahead with the public listing plans. The fintech major may opt for a pre-IPO funding round before the IPO, the report said, adding that the size and valuations may change as no final decision has been taken yet. 🔗 To read more in detail, click here: https://lnkd.in/grq2tfew #news #IPO #fintech #unicorn

Big merger announced in the community bank space with $18 billion-in-asset WesBanco announcing intentions to acquire $8 billion-in-asset Premier Financial Corp. in a nearly $1 billion transaction. Few interesting things stand out immediately: 1) WSBC simultaneously announced it was raising equity capital to the tune of $200 million, or 8% of their common equity prior to the merger, anchored by Wellington Management - adding over 100bps of Tangible Common Equity. Given WSBC's good operational history - I would think this is pro-active capital to help build goodwill with regulators during approval process; I wonder if the Provident Bank / Lakeland Bank transaction would have had an easier time getting approvals if they took a similar approach and if this will be more common in the next wave of bank M&A. 2) The targeted closing date of 1Q25 would represent a ~6-8 month turnaround – which would be a faster pending period than we have seen at other relatively larger bank M&A deals over the past 1-2 years - will be interesting to watch. 3) Keeping an eye on the long ball, kudos to Gary Small who has a long history of doing right by shareholders. Investors who started with Gary at United Community Financial (UCFC) in March of 2014 made 168% return until the MOE with First Defiance (which consequently became Priemer), versus 77% from the S&P 500 and 27% from the KBW Regional Banking Index during that time. Then as CEO of PFC, despite difficult circumstances integrating a large merger at the on-set of the COVID-19 Pandemic, followed by the rapid rise of interest rates, Gary & team worked hard to stabilize earnings and improve his balance sheet - certainly factors that helped positioned them for this transaction – good work Gary, really impressive run.

Happy to participate in the BBT placement to assist with the merger of BlueBet and Betr. Tough space but there are synergies to be realised and management expect to be EBITDA profitable in FY25. Stock should have some momentum from here. #BBT #asx #investment This advice is general and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs
