Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU) is one of the high-growth large-cap stocks to invest in now. On June 4, Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU) board reiterated its commitment to shareholder value by approving a share repurchase program of up to $1 billion. The program for the company’s Class A ordinary shares is to be conducted over the next 12 months.

By repurchasing shares, the board is to reduce the share count, thereby boosting the company’s per-share financial metrics, such as earnings.

The buyback push also comes as Nu Holdings’ growth investments across Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia remain well funded. Additionally, the company boasts significant regulatory capital buffers.
