On August 14, Nu Holdings Ltd. rose 13.5% in regular trading, trading at $15.935/share, with turnover of $345 million. The surge was driven by the company's second-quarter earnings report, which delivered record results that exceeded market expectations on all key metrics.
Specifically, Q2 net income reached $1.06 billion, up 66.4% from $637 million a year earlier, marking the first time quarterly profit crossed the $1 billion threshold. Revenue came in at $5.88 billion versus $3.77 billion a year ago, surpassing the analyst consensus of $5.39 billion. Earnings per share of $0.22 beat the $0.20 estimate by 10%, representing 69.23% year-over-year growth.
Multiple tailwinds further supported sentiment: a previously approved $1 billion share repurchase program, a new Brazilian banking license acquired in July, and Lone Pine Capital's 28.3% increase in holdings to 38 million Class A shares. Management noted current average revenue per active customer of $17 still has significant upside potential, reinforcing the long-term growth narrative.
