Flywire (FLYW) Valuation Check as Voss Capital Endorsement and TenPay Deal Highlight Growth Momentum
Flywire (FLYW) is back on investor radar after Voss Capital called out its improving fundamentals, just as the company announced a TenPay Global partnership that extends Weixin Pay for Chinese students paying tuition in South Korea and Malaysia.
See our latest analysis for Flywire.
The latest TenPay Global deal and Voss Capital spotlight come after a volatile stretch, with Flywire’s 90 day share price return of 7.39% contrasting sharply with a year to date share price return of negative 30.60% and a 1 year total shareholder return of negative 34.57%. This suggests sentiment may be stabilising from a low base as investors reassess its growth trajectory.
If this kind of payments led rebound catches your interest, it could be worth scanning high growth tech and AI stocks to see what other tech names are quietly building momentum.
With revenue still growing double digits, profitability inflecting, and shares trading below analyst targets, investors face a familiar dilemma: Is Flywire quietly undervalued, or is the recent optimism already pricing in its next leg of growth?
Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 15.9% Undervalued
Against Flywire’s last close of $13.95, the most followed narrative pegs fair value higher, framing today’s price as a potential discount rather than a peak.
Ongoing investment in proprietary technology, AI driven automation, and integration capabilities is yielding significant platform efficiencies (e.g., 25% operational cost improvements, 90% automated payment matching, and 40% automated customer service). These developments support Flywire's ability to maintain or increase net margins and deliver stronger earnings leverage as scale increases.
Curious how those efficiency gains, earnings ramp expectations, and a re rated profit multiple combine into that upside case? The narrative spells out the full math.
Result: Fair Value of $16.59 (UNDERVALUED)
Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what's behind the forecasts.
However, that upside case could unravel if student visa rules tighten further or if higher growth travel and B2B volumes continue to pressure Flywire’s margins.

Another View: Multiples Flash A Caution Sign
While the narrative and analyst targets suggest Flywire is modestly undervalued, the market is still paying up on a sales basis. At 2.9 times revenue, Flywire trades richer than both peers at 2.8 times and the industry at 2.5 times, and above a fair ratio of 2.3 times that the market could drift back toward. Is this a small premium for growth, or a warning that expectations are already stretched?
