Chime Financial rises on Stride Bank buy and raised outlook, but valuation is high after recent rally.

Chime Financial is recommended as a buy following its acquisition of Stride Bank and an increase in its financial guidance. The company now controls its own charter, ending reliance on a sponsor bank and unlocking over $100 million in yearly synergies, which is expected to immediately boost earnings. Guidance for Q3 revenue was raised to $705 million, a 30% increase year-over-year, with full-year revenue projected between $2.76 and $2.77 billion and adjusted EBITDA between $481 and $489 million. Despite strong growth and profitability, the stock's valuation is stretched with a forward P/E of 77.6, so investors are advised to buy on pullbacks rather than at current levels.
