Nu Holdings reported total revenue of $3.67 billion in fiscal 2025 Q2, reflecting a 28.8% year-over-year increase from $2.85 billion in 2024 Q2. This growth was driven by robust performance across key revenue streams.

In addition, fee and commission income added $539.73 million, highlighting the company’s diversified revenue model. The combined strength of these segments underscored Nu Holdings' ability to deliver consistent financial results.

The company's earnings power continued to expand, with earnings per share (EPS) rising 29.7% to $0.13 in 2025 Q2 from $0.10 in the prior year.
