Should You Buy Chime Stock While It's Below $43?
Key Points Chime's stock has cooled off since its IPO last month. It's still growing rapidly, and its margins are improving. It doesn't look expensive relative to its long-term growth potential. 10 stocks we like better than Chime Financial › Chime (NASDAQ: CHYM), a fintech company that provides mobile-first banking services for its partner banks, went public at $27 on June 12. It started trading at $43, soared as high as $44.94 during the day, and closed at $37.11. Today, it trades at around $30. Should investors buy Chime's stock as it trades far below its opening price from its first day? Let's take a closer look at its business model, growth rates, and valuations to decide. What does Chime do? Chime isn't a bank. It only builds a user-friendly app that simplifies the banking process, and it relies on two FDIC-insured banks -- The Bancorp Bank and Stride Bank -- to hold and manage its customers' deposits. Through its app, it provides access to free checking and savings accounts with overdraft protection, early pay features, and other financial tools. It provides a Visa debit card with fee-free access to over 50,000 ATMs nationwide, as well as a secured Visa credit card to help its customers build up their credit scores. Chime mainly targets lower-income users who don't have enough assets to open higher-value accounts, which are usually excluded from those fees at traditional banks. Its early pay features (which allow its customers to access a portion of their earned wages early without accruing any interest) are useful for people who live paycheck to paycheck. However, Chime's customers don't have access to standard banking services like cashier checks, wire transfers, and money orders, and they can only make cash deposits at Green Dot retailers. They also can't take out mortgages or auto loans on the platform. Chime generates most of its revenue from its Visa debit and credit cards. Whenever those cards are used to make a purchase, the merchant pays Visa an interchange fee (also known as a swipe fee) equivalent to about 1%-3.5% of the transaction. Chime keeps up to 1% of that fee. A smaller percentage of Chime's revenue comes from The Bancorp Bank and Stride Bank, which pay out incentives based on the number of deposits it brings in. It could eventually strike similar referral deals with adjacent businesses like insurance and tax-filing companies. How fast is Chime growing? In 2023, Chime's revenue rose 27% to $1.28 billion, its gross margin expanded 4 percentage points to 83%, and its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) margin improved from negative 40% to negative 15%. It narrowed its net loss from $406 million to $189 million. Its number of active members grew 25% to 6.6 million during the year, yet it maintained a lower acquisition cost per customer by relying more heavily on referrals and digital campaigns instead of traditional ads. As a result, its margins expanded as its revenue rose at a faster rate than its marketing expenses. Its average revenue per active member (ARPAM) also improved from $210 to $212. In 2024, Chime's revenue grew 31% to $1.67 billion, its gross margin rose 5 percentage points to 88%, and its adjusted EBITDA margin improved to nearly breakeven levels. It narrowed its net loss again to $25 million. Its number of active members grew 21% to 8 million for the year, while its ARPAM jumped 16% to $245 as its members used its cards and services more frequently. That growth indicates Chime's ecosystem is getting stickier as it rolls out more features and it's widening its moat against one-stop shop fintech apps like SoFi Technologies. Does Chime look like a bargain at these levels? In the first quarter of 2025, Chime's revenue rose 32% year over year to $519 million, its gross margin stayed flat at 88%, and its adjusted EBITDA came in at positive 5%. Its number of active members grew 23% to 8.6 million as its ARPAM rose 9% to $251. However, its ARPAM for its active members who used at least six of its products -- who accounted for 12% of its active member base during the quarter -- was $442. That high ARPAM indicates it can squeeze more revenue from its most dedicated users as its ecosystem expands. For the full year, analysts expect Chime's revenue to rise 26% to $2.1 billion with a positive adjusted EBITDA of $53 million. From 2025 to 2027, they expect its revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of 19% and 175%, respectively. With an enterprise value of $10.1 billion, Chime doesn't look expensive at 4 times next year's sales and 43 times its adjusted EBITDA. It isn't a screaming bargain yet, but it could be a great long-term play on the growth of banking services for unbanked and underbanked individuals. Should you buy stock in Chime Financial right now?

This Unstoppable Cryptocurrency Is Now As Big As Amazon, and It Could Soar By Another 10,500%, According to Strategy's Michael Saylor
Key Points Bitcoin is the world's largest cryptocurrency, and its valuation topped $2.4 trillion last Monday, placing it alongside tech giants like Amazon. Michael Saylor turned his software company, formerly MicroStrategy, into the world's largest Bitcoin treasury company over the last few years. Saylor says Bitcoin is headed for an eye-popping $273 trillion valuation by 2045, but that prediction will run into some serious challenges. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) was founded in 1994 to sell books using the internet, and it quickly became an e-commerce pioneer which now offers more than 600 million different products. Its expansion into other businesses like cloud computing, streaming, and digital advertising helped catapult the company's valuation to an eye-popping $2.4 trillion. But last Monday (July 14), Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) briefly surpassed $2.4 trillion in market capitalization when the value of a single coin rocketed past $123,000. The cryptocurrency was introduced in 2009, so it reached the milestone even faster than Amazon, which is remarkable for an asset that doesn't produce any revenue or earnings. Furthermore, Bitcoin is now worth more than Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and even Tesla. Bitcoin might still have room to run. Strategy's (NASDAQ: MSTR) Michael Saylor predicts that the price of a single coin could top $13 million by 2045, translating to a whopping 10,500% upside from Monday's peak. How realistic is that target? Read on to find out. Saylor says Bitcoin will transform the global financial system So far, Bitcoin hasn't proven to be very useful as a currency because of its high volatility relative to traditional currencies like the U.S. dollar. But a growing number of investors consider it to be a good store of value for the following reasons: Bitcoin has a capped supply of 21 million coins, so it's a scarce asset, similar to gold. It's fully decentralized, so it isn't controlled by any person, company, or government. It's built on a secure, and publicly verifiable system of record called the blockchain. Saylor, who founded the software-turned-Bitcoin treasury company formerly known as MicroStrategy, believes that "tokenizing" every physical asset in the world onto the blockchain would create transparency and also solve some of the inefficiencies in the current financial system. For instance, buying real estate comes with high legal fees because most properties have an opaque history that requires tedious research to uncover. But if we placed every real estate transaction on the blockchain, records would suddenly become transparent and verifiable by any prospective buyer. Saylor says he thinks Bitcoin would be the perfect reserve asset for the tokenization process because of its decentralized nature. This means Bitcoin would be the currency everybody uses to buy, sell, or transfer tokenized assets. Therefore, anyone who wants to participate in this new financial system will have to use the cryptocurrency at some point, creating an organic source of demand that could drive its price higher. Bringing Saylor's vision to life won't be easy because it will require global cooperation. But President Donald Trump has a very pro-crypto agenda, so the world might follow if the U.S. government were to lead the way by creating a legal framework with rules and standards. $13 million per Bitcoin implies a sky-high (and potentially unrealistic) valuation According to Saylor, there are about $500 trillion in global assets eligible for tokenization. He believes they can be shifted onto the blockchain by 2045, which would create enough demand to send the price of a single Bitcoin soaring to $13 million. That would be a whopping 10,500% increase from Monday's peak of about $123,000. However, $13 million per Bitcoin would translate to a fully diluted market capitalization of $273 trillion (based on its total supply of 21 million coins). That means the cryptocurrency would be worth a whopping nine times more than the output of the entire U.S. economy, which was $29.7 trillion last year. It would also be 66 times more valuable than Nvidia, which is currently the world's largest company thanks to its market cap of $4.2 trillion. As a result, I think Saylor's target is unrealistic. Even if his vision became reality and all of the world's assets were tokenized onto the blockchain, Bitcoin would only soar in value if every person held on to their coins after selling an asset. As I alluded to earlier, Bitcoin isn't a great everyday currency. Only 6,600 merchants worldwide accept it as payment for goods and services (according to crypto directory Cryptwerk), so people would have to convert their coins back to fiat currency to carry on with their lives. Therefore, the pool of people who are purchasing Bitcoin to acquire an asset would be met with an almost equal number of sellers, leading to a potentially neutral -- not increasing -- value. Could Bitcoin eventually become a widely adopted currency? In my opinion, Bitcoin will never be a true global currency. Every economy operates at a different speed, which is why some countries have stronger fiat currencies than others. Australia and Vietnam have much weaker currencies than economic powerhouses like the U.S., which helps them compete on the global stage by making their exports more attractive to larger trading partners. If every country adopted Bitcoin, the smallest economies would be thrust onto a level playing field with the likes of the U.S., which would damage their exports and dent their citizens' quality of life. This is one reason several countries might be inclined to reject Saylor's plan for tokenization on a global scale. But that doesn't mean Bitcoin is a bad investment right now. The total value of all above-ground gold reserves currently stands at $22.4 trillion, so that could be a realistic target for Bitcoin's market cap if a growing number of investors continue to view it as a legitimate store of value. It would result in a price-per-Bitcoin of $1,066,000, implying a potential upside of about 770% from Monday's peak. There's no guarantee that this scenario will play out, but I think it has a better shot at becoming reality than Saylor's forecast. After all, it's important to remember that Strategy owns 601,550 Bitcoin worth about $71 billion, so Saylor has a very big incentive to issue bullish predictions.
