StoneCo: The Bull Case Just Got Less Predictable (Rating Downgrade)
Summary StoneCo's latest print marked a shift in the narrative, with weaker execution in core payments and a more complex, credit-driven growth profile pressuring near-term visibility. The FY26 guidance reset confirmed a slower and less predictable growth trajectory, leading to downward EPS revisions and the end of the recent upward revision cycle. Despite elevated credit risk, underlying economics remain intact, with strong pricing supporting healthy spreads.

StoneCo: Valuation Is Still Attractive
Summary StoneCo's strong 4Q 2024 earnings and adherence to long-term guidance suggest significant upside, despite recent stock volatility due to U.S. tariffs. The company's Brazilian focus and lack of regional diversification protect it from U.S. tariffs, making it a unique investment opportunity. Management's hints on excess capital and software division divestiture indicate potential shareholder returns and strategic focus on core business. Valuation analysis suggests a fair value of USD 15.4 per share, over 40% above the current market price, highlighting a mispricing opportunity.

The Bottom Fishing Club - StoneCo: Playing Brazil's Rebound
Summary I own StoneCo Ltd. for its undervaluation, improving technical trading pattern, and the potential for a stronger Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2025. The stock trades at an ultra-low P/E of 8x, and EV to EBITDA ratio of 1.8x, making it a bargain choice in financial services. Technical momentum appears to have turned high over the past week, after many months of bearish action. Price could run higher over the next month or two. Potential risks include Brazilian economic conditions, exchange rate fluctuations and management execution, but the stock's low valuation could support significant price appreciation.

StoneCo: A Rare Buying Opportunity (Rating Upgrade)
Summary I upgrade StoneCo stock to "Strong Buy" due to extreme market fears, strong business metrics, and attractive valuation on a forward basis. Despite macro issues in Brazil, StoneCo's MSMB segment shows robust growth, with significant YoY increases in revenue, TPV, EBIT, and net income. STNE trades at a 31% discount to the broader Brazilian market, offering a compelling 3-year CAGR of EPS, making it too cheap to ignore. Risks include potential overestimation of EPS/revenue and the unpredictable impact of Brazil's interest rate environment, but I believe in StoneCo's recovery potential.

StoneCo: Time To Be Greedy
Summary StoneCo's stock has plummeted 50% over the past year, largely due to rising interest rates in Brazil, not necessarily company-specific issues. Despite the macroeconomic headwinds, StoneCo remains a key financial ecosystem for SMEs in Brazil, offering diverse monetization avenues beyond pure transactions. Q3 2024 results showed a 35% YoY growth in net profit and an 8% YoY increase in revenue, driven by financial services. Future concerns include rising Selic rates, competition from PIX, and overall market competition. However, StoneCo outperforms peers in operational efficiency, with strong bottom-line growth prospects. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 31
StoneCo: Hitting A Stone Wall Hurts
Summary StoneCo faces challenges from Brazil's volatile economy and increased competition, leading to a cautious investment stance despite improved fundamentals and valuation. The company's revenue grew 7% yoy, with a 39% yoy EPS increase, but competition and execution issues persist, particularly against the Central Bank's Pix platform. A $350 million share repurchase plan could boost EPS, but STNE must streamline operations and re-accelerate growth to attract bullish investors.

StoneCo: I Keep My 'Buy' Despite The Heavy Dip
Summary StoneCo Ltd. is a "Buy" despite recent stock underperformance, driven by strong Q3 FY2024 earnings and promising long-term growth prospects. STNE's Q3 FY2024 highlights include a 7% YoY revenue increase, a 35% YoY adjusted EBIT growth, and a 43% YoY rise in adjusted EPS. I think the stock's decline is attributed to macroeconomic concerns, not company performance, making it an attractive buy at current valuations. StoneCo's 3Q 2024 results demonstrate an efficient, growth-centric, and shareholder value-driven strategy. The stock is trading at a fraction of the industry's median price-to-earnings ratio. I maintain my "Buy" rating and look forward to doubling my STNE long position as soon as I have sufficient cash to do so. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Nov 07
StoneCo: Brazil's Rising Interest Rates Pose A Threat, But Valuations Point To A Buy
Summary StoneCo's stock is down nearly 40% year-to-date, with recent underperformance largely due to macroeconomic challenges in Brazil. Interest rate hikes in Brazil have posed challenges, affecting expenses and profitability, especially for small business clients. STNE's long-term guidance remains strong, with an expected 31% CAGR in net income from 2024 to 2027, despite near-term hurdles. The Company's valuation is highly attractive, trading at low multiples compared to international peers, signaling a potential upside. Q3 earnings will be crucial, with a focus on TPV growth and expense management amidst Brazil's rising interest rates. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Sep 24
StoneCo's Dip Still Looks Tempting
Summary Despite underperformance, StoneCo's stock is undervalued with promising unit economics and expected EPS growth, justifying a bullish rating. Q2 2024 results showed strong performance in payments, banking, and credit segments, with significant revenue and EPS growth. Management's efficient capital deployment and ambitious growth targets suggest potential for substantial profitability and market penetration. Despite competition and macroeconomic headwinds, StoneCo's stock is poised for a 20.8% upside, trading at a discount to its fair value. I'm reiterating my "Buy" rating for the STNE today.

StoneCo Q2: Still Not Enough To Raise The Recommendation
Summary StoneCo's 2Q24 results showed an 8.5% YoY revenue increase, but significant cost hikes and higher NPLs raise concerns about future profitability. The company's valuation shows a 7% discount to the sector's average P/E, which is not a large margin of safety for investment. The company's ability to manage these challenges and maintain profitable growth will be critical to any future reassessment of its investment recommendation.

StoneCo Stock: Buy The Dip After Q2 Earnings
Summary StoneCo stock has shown significant underperformance over the past quarters despite overall market strength. As I see it, StoneCo's Q2 results show impressive MSMB client growth, improved cost management, and potential for further buybacks to enhance shareholder value. I see that a recovery trend may have already started in July 2022. The nearest resistance target is now ~28% above the current price. Despite risks and market uncertainty, StoneCo remains a strong “Buy” with growth potential and attractive valuation compared to peers in the fintech market.

StoneCo Stock: The Dip Looks Tempting
Summary StoneCo's stock price has fallen significantly and underperformed the market since the last analysis.

StoneCo: Don't Overthink - It's A Fintech Growth Stock (Rating Upgrade)
Summary StoneCo's fourth-quarter earnings report led to a steep plunge in its stock, but dip-buyers quickly returned and lifted buying sentiments. Investors have valid concerns about StoneCo's go-to-market strategy and its increased focus on the MSMB segment. The market has not recognized growth potential, leading to a valuation bifurcation and misunderstanding about its capabilities. Despite that, STNE has recovered well from its recent hammering. I argue why investors should capitalize on its resilience and buy more before the rest realize it. Read on. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 21

Summary StoneCo is a growing fintech company in Brazil, providing payments, banking, software, and credit solutions to micro, small, and medium-sized businesses.

Berkshire Hathaway Is Probably Making A Mistake Selling StoneCo
Summary Berkshire Hathaway's recent 13F filing reveals portfolio changes, including the sale of StoneCo shares after holding them since the IPO.

Why StoneCo Stock Is The Ultimate Buy
Summary StoneCo Ltd. stock looks like an ultimate long-term 'Buy' to me due to the combination of favorable factors. Read on. What catches my eye on the Brazilian stock market is how cheap it is compared to most other emerging markets, let alone developed ones. STNE already has a profit margin of ~14%, and this figure continues to grow. FCF margin is ~12.7%, which is insanely strong for a growth company. Expanding margins in a market that is still quite cheap and has significant economic growth potential should lead to a multiplication of StoneCo's cap in the long run. So I suggest that investors should buy STNE now or after a possible 10-15% setback. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
