The Raiz Invest Ltd (ASX: RZI) share price has had a stellar year so far.

But, according to one leading broker, shares in the micro-investing platform could go even higher.

Let's have a look at the fintech company and what's happening with its share price.

Broker paints positive outlook on Raiz share price

Shares in Raiz could receive a boost after a bullish note from renowned broker Taylor Collison.

Analysts slapped a 'speculative buy' rating on the company, highlighting the large market opportunity in the micro-investing landscape.

According to the broker, Raiz remains well-positioned to capitalise on the market opportunity, citing its positive cash flow and solid balance sheet.

The note highlighted several other factors that could propel the fintech's growth.

In particular, analysts noted the company's continued increase in active users and funds under management.

Raiz also has an expanding pipeline of growth products and innovations such as its superannuation and ESG offerings.

The company's expansion into Southeast Asia was also lauded as an ideal hunting ground given the region's high mobile phone usage, large aspirational populations and small-scale investors.

Analysts also waived the company's recent boardroom conflict as an unwelcome distraction, citing no effect on Raiz's business performance.

The note pointed to Raiz's recent full-year report as an indicator of its growth potential.

How did Raiz perform in FY21?

The Raiz share price received a huge boost after releasing its full-year report for FY21.

The fintech reported impressive growth to 30 June 2021, highlighting a strong balance sheet with cash on hand of $19.4 million.

Other highlights from Raiz's full-year report included;

  • 37% year on year (YOY) increase in group revenue of $13.4 million
  • global active customers up 87% YOY to 456,927
  • Australian funds under management (FUM) up 76% YOY to $799.6 million
  • superannuation FUM up 53% YOY to $106.6 million
  • micro investing platform segment revenue up 40% YOY to $11.4 million
  • revenue per customer (run rate) in Australia up 32% YOY

Throughout the financial year, Raiz noted implementing a number of features to increase customer engagement.
