Kaspi.kz (NasdaqGS:KSPI) Stock Revenue Push Meets Profit Growth Stall

Kaspi.kz came into this print with the stock already on a steady upward grind, up around 8% over the past three months, and it added another 1.4% today. That is a calm reaction for a fintech and e commerce platform that just posted quarterly revenue of 1,112,152m KZT and net income of 258,889m KZT.

The real headline is profit power holding up as Kaspi.kz leans into transaction growth. Basic earnings per share of 1,362.38 KZT kept the earnings story intact, even as investors focus on how that feeds into the already low P/E and the board’s move to lift the dividend.

Is Kaspi.kz trading like a rare bargain, or is the low P/E simply compensation for rising margin pressure? Compare the current share price to the modeled cash flow value on our valuation analysis for Kaspi.kz

Kaspi.kz Bull Case Hangs On Execution Milestones

The bullish story on Kaspi.kz rests on the superapp driving faster growth in commerce, payments and fintech as users adopt more services. This quarter gives some evidence that this flywheel is working. Marketplace GMV in constant currency grew faster than total revenue and e commerce GMV grew even quicker, while purchase frequency climbed with more than 76 million e commerce purchases in Q2. Take rate moved up to 12.1% helped by delivery and advertising, which directly tests the claim that new services can deepen monetisation rather than simply add volume.

On payments and lending, TPV growth in the low teens and an 18% rise in the average net loan portfolio show Kaspi payment rails and credit products still gaining traction, although take rate compression in payments and only mid single digit adjusted EBITDA growth indicate that the margin expansion part of the bullish thesis is not yet clearly playing out.

Kaspi.kz Bear Fears On Margins And Expansion Partly Land

Bearish investors worry Kaspi.kz is front loading growth in commerce and Türkiye while profit quality and margins quietly slip. This quarter does not clear that concern. Revenue grew faster than adjusted EBITDA, which was up 5% year on year, so operating leverage was limited even with a higher 12.1% marketplace take rate and 49% value added services growth in constant currency. Payments take rate edged down and cost of risk ticked to 0.7% from 0.6%. That supports the view that more volume does not yet translate into stronger unit economics.

The cautious camp also argues that aggressive expansion and high funding costs will cap earnings progress for longer. Guidance already points to adjusted EBITDA growth of about 15% for the full year, with management flagging that the bigger funding cost benefit only comes through in 2027. That is another milestone on profitability timing that bears will say has not been disproved.
