Marqeta (MQ-Q) is positioned in the financial services sector, specializing in transaction processing solutions, while also having partnerships with large entities. However, its revenue has significantly declined over recent years, and the company has not yet achieved profitability, despite having a commendable balance sheet with $1.1B in net cash against a market cap of $1.9B. The aggressive share repurchase strategy may offer some appeal, but the prevailing consensus indicates that profitability is not anticipated in the near future. As a result, many analysts suggest there are better investment opportunities currently available in the market, unless Marqeta can demonstrate a return to robust growth.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

MQ provides transaction processing solutions for different verticals within the financial sector, while PAY operates as a fintech company that provides digital banking solutions to gig economy workers. Both are classified as financial services industries but are not direct competitors.

MQ’s revenue has declined meaningfully in recent years, while the company still operates at a loss. MQ has a strong balance sheet with $1.1B in net cash (compared to its market cap of $1.9B), and the company is also repurchasing shares aggressively. That being said, the consensus estimate does not expect MQ to be profitable anytime soon. Its partnership with some large players does not make the company attractive overnight. We think if the company manages to return to stronger growth, it may look attractive, other than that we think there are better opportunities in the current market.
