Dlocal (DLO) Is An Overlooked AI Digital Payments Stock, Here’s Why This Could Change Soon

Dlocal Ltd. (NASDAQ:DLO) is one of the 12 Best Mid-Cap AI Stocks to Buy According to Analysts. On May 27, Truist lowered its price target on Dlocal Ltd. (NASDAQ:DLO) stock from $16 to $15. Despite the downward revision, the stock’s YTD performance of -20% meant that there is considerable upside based on previously assigned target prices. The median analyst upside of 60.1% is quite attractive. Dlocal does not have a core AI product. However, it stands to benefit from AI implementation in its business through fraud detection and reduction, optimized transaction routing, and automating money-laundering frameworks, making it an interesting AI play.

The main reason for Truist’s pessimism in the most recent update is operating expense, which the firm believes will take time to come down, possibly by the end of 2026. Other than that, gross profits are expected to go up in the low single-digit range, aided by strong volumetric growth but offset by operating expenses. This growth was visible in the first quarter’s results, when the company posted a revenue of $335.86 million, comfortably beating consensus estimates by $4.67 million.
