Question asked

NU Holdings

Hi MM Team, thank you for your amazing work to help us understand the market. I just have a question on an international share, NU Holdings (NU:NYS). Please ignore this question if it is inappropriate. It is a Brazil-based digital banking platform which had extraordinary growth. I find it really easy to buy shares but very difficult to know when to sell as I have made many mistakes in the past. I just want to ask if you would consider this share as a ‘bottom drawer’ share or will it prudent to take some profit? Thank you. Kind regards, Sue.

Answer

Hi Sue,

We provide General Advice at MM hence todays comments are purely around how we view NU, not considering your personal circumstances.

NU has already evolved into a $US70bn financial business, but it’s certainly not one we’ve followed, or know well, but as you say what comes next after surging over 300% in less than 2-years, is the important thing.

The company plans to announce its earnings on November 13, 2024. NU is forecast to report quarterly earnings of $0.10 per share, which would represent YoY growth of +42.86%, which is obviously coming off a low base. Most recent consensus estimate is targeting quarterly revenue of $3.01 billion, up +40.73% from the year-ago period, i.e. this is not a share price founded on smoke and mirrors. The MM website shows US brokers like NU with one Sell out of 19 views compared to 9 Buys & 2 Strong Buys.

  • We view the momentum as strong, but it will come down to their upcoming earnings to see if this can continue. Given such a strong run, we wouldn’t be at all surprised if the next 10-15% move was a pullback.

From a “bottom draw vs take some profit perspective there is always the option to implement a bit of both as we often do when scaling both in and out of positions.
