  • Continued Industry Tailwinds Should Support Square's Story
    THE NEW IS HERE × Try it Free Continued Industry Tailwinds Should Support Square's Story Sep. 20, 2019 7:36 AM ET10 comments | 6 Likes by: Alexander Veytsman Summary We see SQ as a solid story with multiple industry tailwinds, such as EMV and continued cash-to-plastic conversion. Convenient processing and analytics remains key to Square's popularity. Our valuation supports at least 25% upside from the current levels. Basic Business / Product Analysis: Square, Inc. is a financial services company that focuses on software and hardware payments products. Square Register allows merchants to accept offline debit and credit cards on both smart-phones and tablet computers. Merchants enter card details through the Square Reader, which plugs into the supported smart-phone/tablet and reads the magnetic stripe. We see Square as uniquely positioned to take advantage of several major developments in the evolution of point-of-sale (POS) transactions and, indeed, the payments world as a whole over the last decade. The company stands at the forefront of payment processing, adopting and integrating recent trends. At the same time, Square’s products cater to a wide variety of merchants, from retail stores to restaurants to cabs, particularly smaller businesses – those that are often overlooked by Square’s established competitors in the terminals space, such as VeriFone and Ingenico. Valuation: When we compare Square against its peers in the payments industry, such as VeriFone and Ingenico, as well as other players, such as GPN, ADS, V, and MA, among others, we find that the company merits a revenue multiple of 6.3x on 2020 revenue, which would result in the target price of $74.

  • Commerce Commission – Ingenico/Paymark
    PUBLIC VERSION COMMERCE COMMISSION – INGENICO/PAYMARK INGENICO SUBMISSION ON COMMISSION’S 11 JULY 2018 LETTER OF ISSUES 1 Ingenico welcomes this opportunity to comment on the Commerce Commission’s 11 July 2018 letter of issues. Summary of this submission 2 Paymark does not have switching services market power. It cannot unilaterally foreclose payment switching competition. The commercial reality is that Paymark is constrained by Verifone and Payment Express. Each has switching and link assets. And each firm is an aggressive, full-service competitor with growth ambitions: 2.1 Verifone and Ingenico are multi-billion dollar global players and compete in New Zealand and in hundreds of other countries around the world. 2.2 Payment Express can continue to leverage its [ ] share of digital payments to expand across the board as it competes in every part of the NZ merchant market. 2.3 The trend to STA benefits Verifone and Payment Express too, because they can leverage their existing infrastructure to compete more effectively for STA transactions, while falling back to Paymark wholesale access (either directly or indirectly) to cover STI transactions as required or desired. The overall result is that Verifone and Payment Express are head-on Paymark competitors. Each has gauged an efficient capital investment strategy and asset mix. Each is winning new merchants all the time at Paymark’s expense. And together their pricing constrains Paymark all across the market and for all payment types, not just STA. 3 Aside from current market infrastructure, any major player—Verifone, a major acquirer or a new entrant—could readily build out new links.

    Menu Search Bloomberg Sign In Subscribe Thousands of wallets are buried in a glass box to raise awareness of mobile payments in Shanghai, China. Source: VCG/Getty Images By Jennifer Surane and Christopher Cannon May 23, 2018 Wandering the streets of Shanghai to admire the architecture, the head of one of the largest U.S. consumer banks recently found himself surrounded by a gaggle of teenagers. Entranced by their phones, they hardly made way for the banker. The teens were messaging, shopping and sending money back and forth, all without cash. Instead, they were using Alipay and WeChat. The scary thing for the American: Banks never got a cut. The future of consumer payments may not be designed in New York or London but in China. There, money flows mainly through a pair of digital ecosystems that blend social media, commerce and banking—all run by two of the world’s most valuable companies. That contrasts with the U.S., where numerous firms feast on fees from handling and processing payments. Western bankers and credit- card executives who travel to China keep returning with the same anxiety: Payments can happen cheaply and easily without them.
