A solid business, but screening 45% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($9.50). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- Solid but not exceptional quality (57/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

Analysis
Nu Holdings (NU) currently trades at $13.84, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $7.60, implying the stock looks roughly 45.1% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 57/100 (solid quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, Nu Holdings generated revenue of $7.6B at a net margin of 41.9%. Revenue grew 43.7% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 30.1%. The balance sheet holds a net cash position of $9.8B. Fundamentals as of Jul 7, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $5.70 (bear case) to $9.50 (bull case); at $13.84, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 27% below its 52-week high and 24% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at 42% fair-value upside, at -45%, NU screens richer than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 6 models by family
Widest divergence: Economic Profit ($6.91) versus Asset-Based ($1.97). Highest evidence: Residual Income (76).
