On May 20, Nu Holdings rose 3.05% in regular trading, trading at 12.635 USD/share, with trading volume of $305 million.
On the news front, prominent investment firm Lone Pine Capital disclosed it has significantly increased its stake in Nu Holdings by 28.3%, bringing its total Class A ordinary shares to 38 million. The contrarian accumulation by a major institutional investor has been interpreted by the market as a vote of confidence in the company's long-term value, lifting investor sentiment following a period of post-earnings weakness.
Nu Holdings had previously declined over 7% on May 15 after Q1 earnings of $0.18 per share missed the consensus estimate of $0.19, despite revenue of $5.32 billion surging 57% year-over-year and exceeding expectations. The earnings shortfall was attributed to rising credit loss provisions tied to rapid loan growth. Lone Pine's sizeable position increase signals institutional conviction that the selloff was overdone.
Within the Diversified Banks sector, the overall sector moved higher. Among individual stocks, Citigroup up 3.49%, JPMorgan Chase up 1.5%, U.S. Bancorp up 1.8%, Wells Fargo up 1.37%, Bank of America up 1.21%.
