Key catalyst

2Q/H1 2026 print reiterated guidance and raised dividend proposal • 2026-08-10

Base target: $100 / p=50% prob

Biggest risk

Net income was flat despite revenue growth, with higher funding costs, ongoing Hepsiburada investment, slightly higher credit costs, and weaker payments monetization limiting near-term operating leverage.

Invalidation

Break below $80 or thesis failure.

What would change my mind?

The print supports a constructive operating case: e-commerce remained the main growth engine, monetization improved, fintech revenue grew 23%, and management reiterated full-year guidance while proposing a higher dividend [#IR-2Q26-2026-08-10].

Commentary

The company source is operationally positive but mixed financially: strong e-commerce and fintech growth, higher dividend, and reiterated guidance were offset by flat net income, funding-cost pressure, credit normalization, and payments investment. Social coverage is unavailable, and analyst revision data is unavailable. The post-print evidence improves the prior materially but supports a monitoring-style neutral view rather than a high-conviction rerating thesis.

2Q/H1 2026 print reiterated guidance and raised dividend proposal
Kaspi.kz reported 2Q revenue growth of 15%, adjusted EBITDA growth of 5%, stable net income, reiterated FY 2026 guidance, and proposed raising the quarterly dividend 18% to KZT1,000 per ADS [#IR-2Q26-2026-08-10].

Funding-cost and credit-quality pressure can cap earnings growth
2026-12-31
Average funding cost rose 150 bps year over year to 14.5%, cost of risk increased to 0.7% from 0.6%, and the 6M 2026 NPL ratio was 7.0% versus 6.1% at FY 2025. A lower three-month deposit rate should help late in 2026, but the offset is not yet demonstrated [#IR-2Q26-2026-08-10].

Long-term Catalysts

Months to a year

E-commerce monetization and Kasper adoption
2026-12-31
Constant-currency e-commerce GMV rose 28%, purchases 33%, and the 3P take rate increased 160 bps year over year. Kasper reached about 20% adoption among available consumers within its first month, but monetization remains unproven [#IR-2Q26-2026-08-10].

Hepsi Bank creates a dated Türkiye fintech option
2027-12-31
Kaspi completed the Rabobank A.Ş. acquisition, rebranded it Hepsi Bank, launched an integrated shopping loan, and plans broader Turkish fintech products from 2027. The opportunity depends on acceptable credit performance and profitable execution [#IR-2Q26-2026-08-10].
Prob 45% • Move 15% • Priced-in 25%

Risks

Analyst estimate revisions, target changes, and a reliable post-print market-reaction attribution are unavailable.
Credit normalization risk is rising as cost of risk and the NPL ratio increased from prior periods.
Funding costs remain elevated and could pressure fintech margins.
Payments take rate declined to 1.00% from 1.07%, while payments EBITDA was broadly flat amid Kaspi Alaqan investment.
Turkish lira depreciation and continued Hepsiburada investment can dilute reported growth and profitability.

Peers

Symbol	Summary
COF	Cleaner consumer-finance comparison for credit, funding, and regulatory-cost discipline, but lacks Kaspi's super-app and marketplace exposure.
AXP	Relevant for payments engagement and network economics, though its card-centric model is less useful for valuing Kaspi's commerce and fintech ecosystem.
ALLY	Useful for balance-sheet, funding, and rate sensitivity, but a weak operating comp for Kaspi's payments-plus-commerce platform.
