Boris Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Qiwi, said this about the QIWI stock earnings report:
“In 2019, we demonstrated outstanding performance, especially in our Payment Services business, which delivered 27% segment net revenue and segment net profit growth year over year. The performance of our payment services business was driven predominantly by the expansion and enhancement of the product proposition we offer to our users, merchants and partners underpinned by the secular trends in our key markets, the latter, however, have started to decelerate towards the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.”

It expects revenue to increase 3% to 13% in fiscal 2020, but says it could revise this if the virus has a negative effect on it.
QIWI stock was down 9.3% as of Tuesday afternoon.
