Nu Holdings (NU) is experiencing a significant pullback, with shares down approximately 30% from recent highs, despite robust growth and a profit inflection. The market’s current focus on artificial intelligence stocks has drained liquidity from companies outside this trend, leaving Nu Bank, a leading digital bank in Latin America, undervalued. With nearly 100 million active customers in Brazil and a burgeoning presence in Mexico, Nu is expanding its digital banking ecosystem, driving revenue per customer from $3 in 2020 to $16 last quarter.
Nu’s controversial expansion into the U.S. market, targeting lower-income customers and the growing Latino population, presents both risks and opportunities. The company plans to allocate a minimal portion of its budget to this venture, minimizing potential profitability impacts. With net income surging 4,000% over five years and projected earnings growth of 41% annually, Nu Bank’s market cap of $64 billion may be an attractive entry point for investors looking for long-term value in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.
