On April 8, JPMorgan analyst Yuri Fernandes upgraded Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU) from “Neutral” to “Overweight” but reduced the price target to $13 from the previous $14. Fernandes expects a challenging year in 2025 due to an anticipated slowdown in personal loans. However, the analyst believes that these challenges are already accounted for in the current stock price after the global market sell-off and the recent downturn presents an attractive opportunity for investors to buy Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU). Notably, JPMorgan’s earnings estimates for Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU) in 2025-2026 are 5-10% lower than the consensus estimates but Fernandes believes that the company is expected to grow its earnings by more than 30% over the next three years even with cautious estimates. This growth rate is hard to find elsewhere. Fernandes also praised Nu Holdings Ltd.’s (NYSE:NU) management and execution and noted that the company’s performance has exceeded JPMorgan’s original IPO expectations for 2024 earnings by five times. The analyst further highlighted the company’s strong cost advantages and the large market opportunity in Brazil’s retail banking sector.
