The full read
Pine Labs just posted its fourth profitable quarter. That matters.
Revenue hit ₹737 crore, up 20% — at the low end of the 21-23.5% guidance for FY27. International revenue rose 21% to ₹114 crore, a figure powered by new payment deployments in the Philippines and expanded affordability programmes in the UAE and Singapore that are gaining traction. Two new UPI-native products were also launched in the quarter: an agentic payment protocol and an embedded credit line.
Profit after tax of ₹20 crore on ₹737 crore revenue is still razor-thin. But it is now recurring. The open question is whether growth accelerates in H2 to hit the upper end of guidance, and whether new products can lift take rates. A clean, routine quarter. No surprises. That is exactly what a post-IPO fintech should deliver.
