Nu Holdings Ltd. (NU) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Top Estimates
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +7.69%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.12 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.12, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Nu , which belongs to the Zacks Banks - Foreign industry, posted revenues of $3.67 billion for the quarter ended June 2025, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.35%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $2.85 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Nu shares have added about 19.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 10%.
What's Next for Nu ?
While Nu has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Nu was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.15 on $3.85 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.55 on $14.9 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Banks - Foreign is currently in the top 21% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Canadian Imperial Bank (CM), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2025. The results are expected to be released on August 28.
This bank and financial services company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $1.40 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -0.7%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Canadian Imperial Bank's revenues are expected to be $5 billion, up 3.6% from the year-ago quarter.

Better Technology Stock: Nvidia vs. Palantir
Key Points Nvidia is now the most valuable publicly traded company in the world, and all signs point to another great earnings report this month. Palantir Technologies is the fastest-growing company in the S&P 500. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Semiconductor giant Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and artificial intelligence (AI) kingpin Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) are two of the most compelling technology stocks in the market. Nvidia harnessed demand for its graphics processing units (GPUs) to become the biggest company in the world, with a $4.4 trillion market capitalization. Palantir, meanwhile, is using its artificial intelligence platform to fundamentally change how governments and commercial businesses operate. The stock is up more than 500% in the last year and is the best-performing stock in the S&P 500. In my view, you can't go wrong with either of these tech stocks. But in a one-on-one matchup, which comes out on top? Let's look at both companies before rendering a verdict. Nvidia Nvidia's GPUs are the engine behind this mammoth company. While they used to be best known for providing the graphics in computers, now GPUs are commonly used by companies that are building massive data centers to run artificial intelligence-powered platforms, including large language models needed for generative AI. Nvidia has the lion's share of this business, with Jon Peddie Research estimating that it has roughly 92% of the market share. And as Nvidia is expecting spending on data centers to accelerate from $250 billion in 2023 to $1 trillion annually by 2028, there's a massive opportunity at hand. In addition, major tech companies like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms are spending heavily and are even increasing their capital expenditure spending on their data centers. That's why I'm expecting a solid earnings report from Nvidia when it reports its earnings for the current quarter, and why I'm expecting the stock to pop yet again after the numbers are released. Palantir Technologies Palantir got its start a little more than 20 years ago as a data mining company to provide real-time analytics and insights. As a government contractor, it's long been valued by the military for its analytic technology that helps commanders make real-time decisions in battle. To the public eye, Palantir largely flew under the radar for years until in 2011, when it was credited for helping U.S. forces find and eliminate Sept. 11 mastermind Osama bin Laden. Palantir works by drawing information from many sources, such as satellite imagery. By sifting through and digesting that information, it can perform instantaneous analysis that can help governments function. According to its CEO, Alex Karp, "Palantir was founded on the belief that the United States, its allies, and partners should harness the most advanced technical capabilities for their defense and prosperity." As its capabilities expanded through the launch of its generative AI-powered Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), Palantir is quickly bringing in additional non-military government contracts. It has new contracts with the Federal Aviation Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State Department, and the Internal Revenue Service. In the company's just-released second quarter earnings report, U.S. government revenue increased 53% in the last year, reaching $426 million. Commercial revenue is growing even faster, up 93% in the second quarter on a year-over-year basis and reaching $306 million. Clients include Walgreens Boots Alliance, AT&T, General Mills, United Airlines, and others, and Palantir is doing everything from making manufacturing more efficient to managing supply chains and helping companies scale. Palantir closed 157 deals in the second quarter valued at more than $1 million, with 66 of them more than $5 million and 42 of them at least $10 million. As more companies bring Palantir's platform online and share how they are improving their businesses, Palantir's platform will become a must-have for many institutions. The verdict I'm not gonna lie. This is a tough one. I love both of these companies, and I think both are destined to increase. But if I have to choose one, then the valuations of both companies will break the tie. At the time of this writing, Nvidia is richly valued both in its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 59 and its forward P/E of 42, but Palantir comes in at an unhealthy 623 and 288, respectively. The price-to-sales ratio, which compares market capitalization to revenue, is arguably an even more accurate measurement as both of these companies are pouring profits back into the business. And Nvidia is by far the strongest there, too. So, my winner in this hypothetical battle is Nvidia by a nose. But both stocks are great ones to have, and they'll both anchor my portfolio for the foreseeable future. Should you buy stock in Nvidia right now?

Why EVgo Stock Blasted 10% Higher This Week
Key Points The electric vehicle charging station company was tapped for an honor from a well-known publication. It also received high marks from an analyst tracking its fortunes. 10 stocks we like better than EVgo › Electric vehicle (EV) charging station specialist EVgo (NASDAQ: EVGO) was all go for investors over the past few days. According to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, the infrastructure builder's shares motored 10% higher during the week. That rise was powered by a magazine naming the company a top operator in its field and it being the subject of a bullish new analyst note. The news was good over the week Although Newsweek isn't quite the influential, must-read publication it was in years past, it still carries some weight in the media world (and for investors). On Thursday, the publication announced that EVgo is on the list of its "America's Greatest Companies 2025." Newsweek rates the 650-strong list's inductees on a scale of one to five stars. EVgo received nearly the maximum, with 4.5 stars. The magazine quoted its editor-in-chief, Jennifer Cunningham, as saying the included enterprises are "operating at the highest caliber when it comes to business performance." This only enhanced the bullish analyst note published the day before by Stifel analyst Stephen Gengaro. In the update, Gengaro reiterated his buy recommendation and accompanying $8 per share price target on EVgo stock. Electric quarterly results It isn't too hard to be optimistic about EVgo's future these days, following its release last week of second-quarter results. Although the company didn't book a headline net profit, its bottom-line performance slightly exceeded expectations, while it beat convincingly on revenue. And although sales growth of EVs has slowed lately, they are still a go-to solution for car owners wishing to drive greener vehicles. Should you invest $1,000 in EVgo right now?
