As an investor, I'm always on the lookout for companies that offer stability, predictability, and consistent growth. Nu Holdings (NU) has caught my attention for its remarkable expansion in the fintech sector, particularly in Latin America. With two compelling reasons to buy NU stock, I believe it's worth considering for your portfolio.

Firstly, Nu Holdings' focus on the unbanked and underbanked population has fueled its rapid customer growth. By offering accessible, low-cost banking services via a smartphone app, Nu has disrupted the traditional banking sector in Latin America. In Brazil alone, Nu's customer base represents 53% of the adult population, making it the fourth-largest financial institution in the country. This innovative approach has allowed Nu to rapidly expand its customer base and revenue, with a monthly Average Revenue per Active Customer (ARPAC) growth of 23% year-over-year. The company added 4.8 million customers in Q4'23 alone, bringing its global total to 93.9 million.

Secondly, Nu Holdings' strategic expansion into new markets has significantly bolstered its competitive position in Latin America. By entering Mexico and Colombia, Nu has tapped into a vast consumer base, adding 23% to its customer base in the past year. This growth is reflected in its revenue, which soared 58% (FX basis) or 38% (USD) to $2.9 billion in its latest quarter, with adjusted earnings shooting up 67% to $592 million. Nu's ability to maintain profitability while investing in new territories and launching new products demonstrates its scalable business model and strong competitive edge.



In conclusion, Nu Holdings' focus on the unbanked and underbanked population, coupled with its strategic expansion into new markets, makes it an attractive investment opportunity. The company's innovative approach to banking and strong competitive position bode well for its future growth. As an investor, I'm eager to explore the possibilities that Nu Holdings stock presents.
