Fintech Ipo Index Gains 4.4% As Toast And Dlocal Get A Boost On Earnings

Moving into mid-May, the FinTech IPO Index’s 4.4% increase was powered by a string of earnings reports, with digital payments growth seen across Latin America and swelling transaction volumes for buy now, pay later providers and B2B platforms. As PYMNTS reported, Toast sees promise in its artificial intelligence (AI)-driven efforts improve restaurants’ operating efficiencies. CEO and co-founder Aman Narang said a restaurant participating in the pilot program found that a menu upsell tool increased its average order volume by 6%; a tool that pulls guest data into the point-of-sale (POS) system and handhelds helped create a personalized experience for in-store guests; and an advertising tool helped deliver a greater than 10 times return on ad spend for another restaurant. Toast President and Chief Financial Officer Elena Gomez said in the prepared remarks that the company raised its 2025 full-year outlook. Gomez added that consumer trends have remained stable into May.  Toast now expects to see 25% to 27% year-over-year (YoY) growth in non-GAAP subscription services and financial technology solutions, up from its earlier guidance of 23% to 25%.  The earnings and the commentary sent the shares 23% higher
