DLocal Limited (DLO) Presents at J.P. Morgan 54th Annual Global Technology, Media and Communications Conference Transcript

DLocal NASDAQ: DLO Chief Executive Officer Pedro Arnt said the payments company remains focused on expanding its role as a financial infrastructure provider for large global merchants operating in emerging markets, emphasizing that fragmentation in those markets continues to be central to the company's value proposition.

MercadoLibre has tumbled 17% in the six trading days since its earnings report. Margin concerns could be just a short-term headwind.

DLocal Limited (DLO) remains a compelling fintech play, with robust execution and improving unit economics despite recent post-earnings volatility. DLO's Q1 2026 saw 73% YoY TPV growth and 55% revenue growth, but net take rate declined as large enterprise clients pressured fees. Management is proactively controlling OPEX via a hiring freeze and expanding into higher-margin Tier 2/3 payment networks to stabilize margins.

DLocal Limited (DLO) Q1 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

DLocal NASDAQ: DLO reported another quarter of rapid payment volume growth, with management pointing to broad-based merchant expansion across emerging markets while also addressing higher operating expenses and a one-time tax adjustment that weighed on reported earnings.

DLocal (DLO) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.17 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.16 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.15 per share a year ago.

Payments provider dLocal on Thursday reported a ​10% dip in its first-quarter net ‌profit missing analyst estimates as a one-off tax charge and higher expenses offset a surge ​in payment volumes.

TPV surpassed US$14 billion for the first time (+73% year-over-year), six consecutive quarters of 50%+ year-over-year growth.  Record gross profit: US$119 million (+40% year-over-year). Operating profit US$57 million excluding prior years tax adjustments (+25% year-over-year). Expected higher OPEX from 2025 carry-over; operating leverage to improve in 2H26. Net income at US$52 million excluding prior-years tax adjustments (+11% year-over-year). Adjusted Free Cash Flow US$15 million, driven by temporary working capital effects, expected to revert. Guidance unchanged.
