Should You Buy Nu Holdings While It's Still Below $15?
American investors might not be too familiar with Nu Holdings (NYSE: NU). True, it's a large-cap company with a $65 billion market capitalization currently. And yes, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway owned a stake in it for about three years. But because it operates in Latin America, Nu probably flies under the radar for many here in the U.S. This fintech stock has soared by an impressive 230% in the past three years (as of June 25), although it has taken investors on a volatile ride along the way. But should you buy shares right now while they trade below $15? Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Continue » Nu continues to grow at a brisk pace Because of how mature the financial services industry is, there aren't that many companies in the space that are rapidly rising up through its ranks. Here's where Nu stands out. Its leaders saw an opportunity to target unbanked and underbanked populations in Latin America, providing them with a digital-first platform that offers bank accounts, brokerage services, credit cards, loans, and crypto trading, among other things. As of March 31, Nu had 119 million customers, the vast majority of them in its home market of Brazil. The company now counts a remarkable 59% of that country's adult population as its customers. In the last three years, Nu has essentially doubled its customer base. Nu also operates in Mexico and Colombia, both markets that have sizable potential. Combined, they have a population of 185 million people -- 13 times greater than the number of customers Nu has attracted so far in those countries. The leadership team is optimistic. According to their estimates, Nu has only captured 5% of its gross profit total addressable market in Brazil. One key pillar of its growth playbook is to constantly innovate. Nu just launched a service offering private payroll loans in Brazil, taking on the established players in that part of the industry. It also has a travel service (NuTravel) and a mobile phone service (NuCel). These initiatives clearly show its willingness to venture beyond financial services. It might have plans to enter other new markets down the road, further expanding revenue potential. However, so far, executives are playing it close to the vest. Sensitive to external forces Because Nu's growth has been so spectacular, investors might overlook the fact that this is still a bank at its core. And that means that Nu is heavily exposed to certain factors outside of its control. Interest rates are one thing to keep in mind. No one can reliably predict with any level of precision what direction interest rates are headed in over the longer term. But rate hikes and cuts can have profound impacts on Nu's revenue and earnings. A recession or economic downturn would also spell trouble for the bank, as demand for loans would fall, delinquencies would rise, and spending activity would take a hit. Nu's operations are entirely in Latin America, which is still a developing region. On the one hand, that's an advantage, as it provides Nu with a huge opportunity to expand its offerings, bring on new customers, and ride the wave of GDP growth and smartphone/internet penetration. On the other hand, developing economies are prone to volatility. For instance, Brazil's economy is dependent on commodity exports, which can be influenced by market prices that can negatively impact GDP. There are other issues as well, like political instability and corruption. These elements can make running a successful financial services enterprise difficult. Nonetheless, Nu has performed exceptionally well in the face of these ongoing risks. Its revenues have soared, and so have its profits. Diluted earnings per share jumped 47% year over year in Q1, and analysts are forecasting that this key metric will increase at an annualized pace of 36% between 2024 and 2027. With shares trading at a forward P/E ratio of 23.5, investors should consider buying this fintech stock while it's still below $15. Should you invest $1,000 in Nu Holdings right now?

U.S. Senate braces for first big vote on Trump agenda – with support still unclear
The U.S. Capitol building is seen on the day of a meeting of US Senators, as Republican lawmakers struggle to pass President Donald Trump's sweeping spending and tax bill, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on Saturday, June 28. Ken Cedeno/Reuters via CNN Newsource Senate Republicans are about to face a major test of loyalty to U.S. President Donald Trump, as the chamber braces for its first vote on whether to advance the president's giant tax cuts and spending bill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and his team have been fiercely lobbying their members to get in line behind the measure, with President Donald Trump and White House officials also leaning heavily on the remaining GOP holdouts. Trump met with key holdouts — Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin — on Saturday, just hours before GOP leaders hoped to hold the vote, according to those two senators' close colleague, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah. Trump has also spoken to other critical votes, like Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri, who earlier Saturday declared his support for the bill. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, another critic of the bill, golfed with the president on Saturday morning, according to South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham. But it's not yet clear whether Thune will be able to limit defections on that procedural vote, with centrists like Sen. Thom Tillis and a small group of GOP hardliners — Lee, Scott and Johnson — still pushing for changes to the bill. But GOP leadership believe they will ultimately succeed, thanks, in part, to immense pressure from Trump. In one sign of the uncertainty, the Senate GOP's plans to hold that first vote at 4 p.m. has already slipped by several hours as party leaders attempt to coordinate with members about which amendments could come up for a vote this weekend. 'The most recent information that we have is that we have a commitment for the votes, but in order to get to that commitment, there are some amendments that some people want to make sure that they can offer,' Rounds said on CNN. 'They're trying to make sure that the scores on their amendments are appropriate and that they'll fit within the confines that the bill calls for,' Rounds said. 'We will have the vote here before long that will answer all that,' Thune told reporters when asked about the current opposition to moving ahead with the bill. His deputy, Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, was defiant as he declared the Senate would vote in the coming hours regardless of the whip count. 'We are going to be voting on the motion to proceed at 4 p.m.,' Barrasso said when pressed on whether Republicans will have the votes. Thune can afford to lose only three GOP votes on the floor. And three Republicans, Tillis, Johnson and Paul, have already said they would block the bill from moving ahead. (A fourth, Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana, briefly said he'd oppose it over concerns with a public land sale provision, but he later said the issue would be worked out and he would vote yes on the bill.) It all amounts to an intense Saturday scramble for Trump and GOP leaders, who are intent on passing the president's agenda as quickly as possible. Trump has told GOP leaders he wants to sign the bill at the White House on July 4 – and that still requires approval from the narrowly divided GOP House, which is also no guarantee. House Republicans, meanwhile, held a brief 15-minute call on Saturday, during which Speaker Mike Johnson sought to rally his troops behind the bill and tamp down on any public consternation from his own members. A frustrated Johnson urged his members to keep their powder dry and refrain from weighing in publicly on the Senate's version of the bill, as so much of it is in flux — which means no posts on X, three sources said. At least one Republican, Rep. David Valadao of California, posted publicly that he opposed the Senate bill because of changes to Medicaid. And another Republican who is closely watching the Medicaid provisions, Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, told CNN: 'I don't like it. We had hit a sweet spot with our bill.' Once the Senate is able to clear the first procedural hurdle on the bill, Thune will face an entirely different headache. Senators will then move onto a marathon session known as a vote-a-rama, which is an open-ended hourslong series of votes on amendments — some political, some substantive — offered mostly by Democrats trying to poison the bill and put Republicans on the spot. The votes will provide fodder for campaign ads down the line. But this vote-a-rama could be more than just politically painful for Republicans: At least one Republican holdout has signaled she will offer her own amendments to the bill in an unusual move for a GOP bill. Key Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine said she wants changes to the bill made through the amendment process or she might vote against it in the end. Her negotiations throughout the session will be critical. It may be many hours until that final vote takes place, however. Democrats are planning a procedural maneuver that they believe will delay the process by 10 to 15 hours. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer informed his caucus on Saturday to prepare for their party to do a 'force a full reading' of the Senate GOP bill, according to a person familiar with the plans. The tactic was last deployed by Republican Sen. Johnson, who forced the Senate to read aloud then-President Joe Biden's 628-page pandemic relief bill in 2021.
