Citi has recommended buying Pine Labs' shares with a target price of ₹235, highlighting its strong leadership, profit-oriented approach, and stable market position. The payments fintech firm is expected to grow due to improved monetization strategies, increasing regulatory compliance demands, and robust enterprise integrations.

Starting April 15, shares worth Rs 5 crore will become accessible for key companies like Tata Capital, Meesho, LG India, and Pine Labs as IPO lock-in periods end. According to Nuvama's report, by July 2026, approximately 81 firms are anticipated to release shares, with significant shifts in share eligibility for major market players.

JPMorgan views Pine Labs as neutral with a target price of ₹165, driven by anticipated growth of 23-25% in the digital payments market. The firm anticipates a high EBITDA margin approaching 27% by FY28, thanks to a robust merchant network. However, revenue growth is expected to slow down slightly, with a CAGR of around 17%.
