  • Nu Holdings Shares Rise Premarket on Brazil Rate Cut Amid Credit Outlook Concerns
    June 18, 2026, 7:19 AM EDT. Nu Holdings Ltd. shares rose 1.3% premarket to $12.89 on Thursday, following Brazil's central bank cut of the Selic rate to 14.25%, a key interest benchmark. This easing contrasts with the U.S. Federal Reserve's steady policy rate of 3.50-3.75%. Investors are evaluating Nu's $1 billion buyback program and improving Brazilian rates against challenges such as rising credit-loss provisions, tighter profit margins, and an upcoming CFO transition. Nu, which operates primarily in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, reported robust Q1 results, including $5 billion revenue and $871 million net income, while emphasizing AI-driven credit strategies. Despite sector-wide pressure on growth and fintech stocks, Nu's strategic moves and Brazil's rate cut have partially restored investor confidence.
