Nu Holdings stock jumps 5% to near $18 — what’s driving NU and what investors watch next
New York, Jan 5, 2026, 21:21 EST — Market closed Nu Holdings Ltd (NU.N), the parent of Brazilian digital lender Nubank, gained 5.4% on Monday to about $17.94 after trading between $17.02 and $18.14. Volume topped 74 million shares. The move matters now because NU is pushing into the $18 handle just as investors start to price in the first wave of quarterly results and recalibrate risk after a strong 2025 run for equities. It also leaves the stock closer to where many analysts peg fair value, raising the bar for the next catalyst to keep the rally intact. Financial
