The US-based investor, Invesco has slashed the fair value of foodtech major, Swiggy and fintech major Pine Labs in its half-yearly shareholder report filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The fintech firm was reported to hold a value of $3.5 billion from $3.8 billion on January 31 and $4.8 billion on December 31, 2023 as per Invesco.

Invesco is said to have about 2.8 percent of Pine Labs and about 1.3 percent is owned by Baron Funds.

Additionally, Tracxn statistics indicate that Peak XV Partners holds around 20.6 percent of the shares.

The fintech firm is observed to have had to reschedule its date for applying for an international public listing last year due to unstable market conditions.

It is currently said to be engaged in reverse flipping and gained court approval in May to combine its domestic and city-state entities, which appears to be at the same time as the valuation.

Regarding the foodtech firm, which is headed for an initial public offering, the US-based investor has somewhat reduced its fair value compared to its last quarter,.

In preparation for a $1.25 billion initial public offering (IPO), Swiggy has filed a secret version of its prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Till January 31, the foodtech firm weighed its value at around $12.7 billion by Invesco.

Following March 31, it shot up to $15.1 billion by the US-based asset manager Baron Capital, which is said to be a 25 percent increase over the investor's previous fair value.

Crossover funds, which make investments in both privately held and publicly traded businesses, assess their portfolio firms' valuations on a regular basis.

A multitude of criteria are taken into consideration when determining the fair value, one of which is the stock market performance of peers.

In preparation for a $1.25 billion initial public offering (IPO), Swiggy has filed a secret version of its prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

Since its founding in 2014, Swiggy—which was founded by Sriharsha Majety, Rahul Jaimini, and Nandan Reddy—has raised approximately $3.6 billion from investors such as SoftBank, DST Global, Alpha Wave Global, Accel, Norwest Venture Partners, Prosus, Elevation, and others.
