   <title>PayPay IPO surges 19% in Nasdaq debut, valuing SoftBank-backed fintech at $14.7B</title>

   <description>&lt;p&gt;The opening gives &lt;span itemscope=&quot;&quot; itemtype=&quot;http://schema.org/Corporation&quot;&gt;&lt;span itemprop=&quot;name&quot;&gt;PayPay&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; a valuation of roughly $14.71 billion, marking one of the year’s most significant fintech public offerings. Shares initially were indicated to open at $22—37.5% above the offer price—before settling at $19. The stock traded at $18.03 as of midday Thursday, showing some volatility after the strong open.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PayPay and a SoftBank Group-controlled investment fund priced the offering at $16 per share, below the marketed range of $17-$20, though the robust first-day performance suggests strong investor appetite for proven fintech platforms with dominant market positions.&lt;/p&gt;

   <description>&lt;p&gt;Investing.com -- Bank of America reinstated coverage of several payment companies, saying steady transaction growth and wider use of digital payments continue to support the sector despite recent pressure on sentiment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bank said its outlook for the group remains broadly constructive, pointing to expanding digital commerce, improving cross-border spending and continued migration away from cash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the companies it covers, BofA sees the strongest risk-adjusted opportunities in card networks Visa and Mastercard, both rated Buy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bank said the networks benefit from durable earnings, resilient fee structures and strong cash flow as electronic payments gain share globally. It added that the</description>
