On August 13, following the bell, Nu Holdings Ltd. (NU) will release its results for the second quarter of 2024. As the current price action is potent for bulls, we may consider it a strong buy, depending on the price action.
NU Earnings Forecast
According to analyst estimates, the to-be-reported revenues are expected to be 10 cents, representing 11% successive growth. With an average estimated $2.9 billion, revenues are expected to grow by 6.1% over the previous quarter. Analyst revisions and estimates have not changed recently.
Analysts anticipate that robust customer growth will be the primary driver of the company's notable profit margin growth over the past year in the to-be-reported period. With 85.5 million active customers, the consensus estimate indicates a 3.5% sequential expansion. NU's low-cost functioning platform and robust revenue are anticipated to positively affect the bottom line during the quarter.
NU Competitor Analysis
Its nearest rivals have also not performed well, with SoFi Technologies SOFI rising by just 1% and Banco Santander (Brasil) S.A. BSBR hardly moves at all during the same time frame.
Beyond the short-term results, NU's stock has increased by 20.3% in the last half-year and 42.7% so far this year, suggesting that the present drop is a part of an adjustment phase.
