NU

Market cap $63.8B

Nu has established itself as a major financial institution in Brazil, where it still has significant cross-selling opportunities. It's expanding into Mexico, where it reached breakeven in the first quarter.

From nuclear energy to robotaxis to digital banking, big opportunities lay ahead. The three stocks below are each positioned to benefit from these major trends.

Nu Holdings Ltd. delivered Q1 results exceeding my expectations, with revenue up 57.6% and net income up 56.4% YoY. Despite strong results, NU shares dropped 8% on concerns over rising NPLs, increased cost to serve, and fluctuating Mexico deposits. I view these concerns as largely seasonal or strategic, with management proactively addressing credit risk and funding optimization.

Each week, Benzinga's Stock Whisper Index uses a combination of proprietary data and pattern recognition to showcase five stocks that are just under the surface and deserve attention.

Nu Holdings is down to $12.69 following Q1 2026 results. My updated base case points to a meaningful upside by 2026. I remain focused on NU's scale, efficiency, and long-term potential despite the recent earnings miss.

Stocks trading under $20 often get dismissed as lottery tickets, but every so often a genuine compounder slips into that bucket because sentiment has cracked while fundamentals remain intact.

When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important?

Nu Holdings (NU) demonstrates robust growth and profitability, with a 29% ROE and expanding loan portfolio despite recent earnings volatility. Q1 saw strong revenue growth and customer expansion, but higher expected credit losses and declining ROE pressured short-term results. NU's forward P/E near all-time lows (~14x) offers compelling value given its execution, market leadership, and long-term growth prospects.

Nu Holdings has declined over 35% but remains a high-growth, high-ROE bank with substantial runway in Brazil and Mexico. In Brazil, NU captures only 7% of the profit pool and has minimal SME penetration, suggesting significant untapped domestic opportunity. NU's Mexican operations are now breakeven, with less than 1% market share in a rapidly growing, underbanked market.
