Bears say
StoneCo is facing challenges in terms of churn pressure from its 2025 client cohorts, and its credit business is still in its early stages of scaling, which could weigh on gross profit growth in the near future. Competitors in the Brazilian payments market have increased significantly, and StoneCo's credit risk is perceived to be higher than its actual risk. These factors, along with potential regulatory changes, have caused investors to view StoneCo at a discount compared to its peers.
