StoneCo remains a Strong Buy, with a compelling long-term risk-reward despite near-term macro headwinds and slower Selic cuts. STNE's robust balance sheet, aggressive buybacks, and recent special dividend delivered a combined ~39% yield in H1, highlighting strong shareholder returns. Current valuation bakes in substantial risk, with a conservative DCF yielding intrinsic value significantly above current levels, implying a strong margin of safety while the stock trades at deep discounts.
Macroeconomic headwinds are hurting Stoneco (STNE +2.18%).
StoneCo reported weak Q2 results, with revenue up only 2.5% YoY and EPS missing expectations. The company is shifting toward credit to sustain growth, but rising delinquencies raise concerns about revenue quality. High-interest rates, competition, and Brazil's challenging macro environment could pressure growth and profitability further.
Shares of Nu Holdings (NYSE:NU | NU Price Prediction) are up 10% Friday afternoon to $15.35, while StoneCo (NASDAQ:STNE) stock is down 6% to $9.59.
