Analysis · STNE · Technology
StoneCo's second-quarter results show adjusted net income of R$582.7 million, below the R$600 million IBES estimate, with total revenue of R$3,587.4 million. The company's credit portfolio grew 107.5% year over year to R$3,752.0 million, but asset quality worsened: NPL over 90 days rose to 8.60% from 4.67% a year ago, and provisions for loan losses more than doubled to R$187.6 million. A non-recurring R$200.3 million allowance for expected losses on distressed card issuers pushed IFRS net income down to R$449.9 million. The company also paid a R$3.08 billion extraordinary dividend and repurchased R$739 million in shares, reducing the share count by 40.3 million over the past year. Trading near its 52-week low, the stock faces pressure from deteriorating credit metrics and a miss on earnings expectations.
