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.
The $1 billion buyback program also affirms the company’s capital allocation policy as the core business continues to generate significant capital for distribution. 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.
Meanwhile, Nu Holdings is aware of an incorrect message sent to customers that indicated the company had been liquidated by Brazil’s central bank. It has been termed a one-time operational error and is under investigation.
Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU) is a leading digital financial services platform and the parent company of Nubank.
