This is huge! Revolut just confirmed the secondary share sale at a whopping $45 billion making it one of the world's most valuable private companies 😳 This means that the British FinTech giant is valued at 20x its 2023 revenue. In case you missed it, Revolut made $2.2B in revenue last year (+95% YoY) and absolutely crushed their earnings 😤 For the perspective, its closest home rival Monzo is currently valued at 19x while payments giant Stripe is at a mere 4.86x. Interestingly enough, Nubank - probably the best-run bank & tech company in the world - would be valued at around 8x (based on their 2023 financials) 👀 So either Revolut is significantly overvalued or public markets don't love NU enough. Either way, FinTech is back 🚀 P.S. check out 🔔linas.substack.com🔔, it's the only newsletter you need for all things when Finance meets Technology. For founders, builders, and leaders.
