Winston Score History

The full picture

Kaspi.kz is a technology company based in Kazakhstan that runs a super-app used by millions of everyday consumers and businesses. Its platform combines three main services: a payments app, an online marketplace where people buy and sell goods, and a fintech business that offers loans, deposits, and other financial products. It is the dominant all-in-one digital platform in Kazakhstan and one of the largest technology companies in Central Asia.

Kaspi makes money through transaction fees on payments, a commission on goods sold through its marketplace, and interest income from consumer and business loans. Nearly all of its revenue comes from Kazakhstan, though it has been expanding into Azerbaijan and Ukraine. Its super-app model creates a strong moat because users who pay bills, shop, and borrow all in one place are unlikely to switch to a competitor. The main risk is its heavy dependence on a single country, meaning any economic slowdown or regulatory change in Kazakhstan could significantly hurt its business.

Growth + cash flow

Joint Stock Company Kaspi.kz is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 14%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
