Shares of $NU have recently been hitting new all-time highs and keep rising. They grew by more than 50% just last year, and I think this year could be similar. The company is growing incredibly fast and is slowly catching up to $SOFI. I started buying last year, and if the price is lower, I’d be happy to buy more.
What is your opinion on $NU?
Dave Inc. (DAVE) has a higher percentage upside potential compared to Nu Holdings (NU) because it is expanding faster in the U.S. market and its current valuation (the share price relative to earnings or revenues) is lower than its own historical average.
For a beginner investor this means the following: a stock’s valuation is measured with simple ratios, for example P/E (price divided by earnings per share). If Dave historically averaged a P/E of around 40x but is now only at 23x, that means the stock is currently “cheaper” than it used to be. If the company continues to improve (e.g., revenues grow by 37% in 2025), the share price could revert to that historical average — which would imply gains of tens of percent, perhaps 50% or more.
Unlike Nu, which has a larger market capitalization (USD 86 billion vs. USD 3 billion for Dave) and a valuation closer to its average (P/E 34x), Dave offers a larger “margin of safety” for investors — more room for percentage appreciation at the same fintech-sector risk. Analysts therefore favor Dave (rated “Strong Buy” vs. “Hold” for Nu).
