Pine Labs enters the market with 10% listing gain

Pine Labs enters the market with 10% listing gain Fintech major Pine Labs made a positive debut on the public markets on Friday, listing at a 9.5% premium over its issue price despite lukewarm interest from retail investors during the IPO. The stock opened at Rs 242 per share against the IPO price of Rs 221, giving the Peak XV-backed firm a stable start on the NSE and BSE. The IPO, which closed on November 11, raised around Rs 3,900 crore, comprising a mix of fresh issuance and an offer for sale by existing shareholders. While institutional investors drove the bulk of the demand, retail participation remained modest. According to exchange data, Pine Labs’ IPO was oversubscribed 2.46 times overall. The retail portion saw 1.22x subscription, QIBs (excluding anchors) 4x, and Non-Institutional Investors (NIIs) just 0.3x, while the employee portion was the most subscribed at 7.35 times. Earlier this week, the company also secured three key licences from the RBI, for payment aggregation, payment gateway operations, and cross-border payments, covering both offline and online merchant transactions. These approvals allow Pine Labs to process domestic and international payments, manage settlements, and further expand its merchant network across sectors. In FY25, Pine Labs reported a 28.5% year-on-year revenue growth to Rs 2,274 crore in FY25 from Rs 1,769 crore in FY24, while net losses fell 57% to Rs 145 crore. Notably, the company turned profitable in Q1 FY26, posting a net profit of Rs 4.7 crore on revenue of Rs 616 crore. For now, the company has avoided the post-listing volatility seen in some startup IPOs earlier this year. But with public markets becoming increasingly selective, Pine Labs’ real test begins now, proving that a fintech born in the swipe era can hold its ground in the era of UPI, BNPL, and embedded finance. Pine Labs’ share touched its high of Rs 284 in the morning and as of 10:50 AM is currently trading at Rs 270.28, a 22.45% above its issue price, with the total market cap of Rs 31,051 crore ($3.52 billion).

Pine Labs-owned Setu to acquire 100% stake in Agya Technologies Fintech unicorn Pine Labs plans to fully consolidate its ownership in RBI-licensed account aggregator Agya Technologies through its fintech infrastructure arm, Setu. According to a regulatory filing, the RBI has approved Setu (BrokenTusk Technologies Pvt Ltd) to increase its stake to 100% in Agya Technologies Pvt Ltd, which until now has operated as an associate company of Setu. Pine Labs already has around 25% stake in Agya Technologies and the company plans to complete the acquisition of the remaining stake in the near term, potentially in one or more tranches, according to the filing. This development follows Pine Labs' successful acquisition of all three digital payment licences from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These licences cover offline payments, online merchant payments, and cross-border transactions, enabling the company to offer a complete range of digital payment services across all merchant interaction points. On the financial front, Pine Labs’ revenue increased to Rs 650 crore in Q2 FY26 from Rs 551 crore in the same quarter last year. Pine Labs reported a net profit of Rs 6 crore in Q2 FY26 versus a loss of Rs 32 crore in Q2 FY25. Pine Labs made a positive debut on the public markets, listing at a 9.5% premium over its issue price. The stock opened at Rs 242 per share against the IPO price of Rs 221, giving the Peak XV-backed firm a stable start on the NSE and BSE. The company’s share is trading at Rs 240.85, giving it a market capitalization of Rs 26,406 crore (approx $2.9 billion).
