Foolish take

Flywire is one of many positions opened by Mangrove Partners in the third quarter of 2025. Other than the increase in its position in ECD Automotive Design, Flywire was the largest purchase during Q3.

That purchase made Flywire Mangrove’s 11th largest position. It may also be somewhat unusual in a fund whose largest positions are heavily geared toward industrial stocks. However, with 178 positions, Mangrove has diversified across numerous industries.

Additionally, Flywire appears geared toward improved profitability. Although one might not see that, given its 328 P/E ratio, the forward P/E of 18 may indicate the stock is a bargain.

Additionally, Flywire may have identified an attractive niche within the fintech industry. Although payment platforms are numerous and largely commoditized in the consumer space, Mangrove may see something in Flywire’s global payments platform reminiscent of specialized platforms such as Toast or Shift4. That could bode well for Flywire and, by extension, Mangrove Partners.
