Is now still a good time to buy NU? Or are investors being too optimistic? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Why Are We Positive On NU?

With well over one hundred million customers across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia through its viral member-get-member referral program, Nubank (NYSE: NU) is a digital banking platform that offers financial services including spending, saving, investing, borrowing, and protection products to millions of customers across Latin America.

1. Skyrocketing Revenue Shows Strong Momentum

A company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years.

Luckily, Nubank’s revenue grew at an incredible 89.6% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth surpassed the average financials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

2. Outstanding Long-Term EPS Growth

Analyzing the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) shows whether a company's incremental sales were profitable – for example, revenue could be inflated through excessive spending on advertising and promotions.

Nubank’s full-year EPS flipped from negative to positive over the last three years. This is a good sign and shows it’s at an inflection point.
