If Pagaya’s swings have caught your eye, it could be a good moment to broaden your search and check out high growth tech and AI stocks as potential next ideas.
With Pagaya posting US$1.25b in revenue, a net loss of US$193.6m, a value score of 5, and a market price below the average analyst target, you have to ask: is this a discounted AI lender, or is the market already pricing in its future growth potential?
With Pagaya’s fair value estimate set at US$40.50 against a last close of US$22.28, the most followed narrative sees a wide valuation gap and ties it squarely to earnings power over the next few years.
Persistent investment and advancement in proprietary AI-driven underwriting, combined with growing data network effects from onboarding more partners, enhance credit decision accuracy and operational scalability, supporting higher net margins and improved long-term profitability.
Curious what kind of revenue ramp, margin shift and earnings profile that narrative is baking in, and how those cash flows get discounted back to today? The full set of assumptions is where the story really gets interesting.
Result: Fair Value of $40.50 (UNDERVALUED)
