How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 14.9x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: NU is currently trading at $13.43, which is considered slightly low relative to its 30-day fair value range of $13.33 to $15.12. From a valuation perspective, the stock is trading at a discount (Forward PE: 12.2) compared to its historical average (14.9). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 6.4% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 66.3% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.

Technical Outlook: Technically, NU is in a uptrend. Immediate support is located at $12.13, while resistance sits at $14.25.

Market Sentiment: NU scores 91/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $18.64 (+38.8%). The stock is fairly positioned - fine to hold existing positions or accumulate slowly on dips, but not an urgent buy.
