DLocal Limited (DLO) Q2 2026 Earnings Call Transcript
DLocal NASDAQ: DLO reported second-quarter 2026 total payment volume of $17.7 billion, up 92% from a year earlier, as growth in ride-hailing, travel, remittances, e-commerce and other verticals drove record volume and gross profit.

DLocal (DLO) appears to have found support after losing some value lately, as indicated by the formation of a hammer chart. In addition to this technical chart pattern, strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in revising earnings estimates higher enhances the stock's potential for a turnaround in the near term.
DLocal Limited is rated a Strong Buy with a 2030 price target of $45/share, nearly 195% upside from current levels. DLocal's moat is built on regulatory barriers and local payment method expertise across 60+ emerging markets, supporting resilient 50%+ TPV growth. Despite take-rate compression to 0.84%, DLocal's net revenue retention of 152% and robust merchant growth drive sustained revenue expansion.
DLocal Limited still has a weak market sentiment around the stock, but increasingly bullish Wall Street recommendations could turn the sentiment around. The take rate has declined, implying limited pricing power, but also reflecting DLO's deliberate growth strategy. DLO's strategy's success is reflected in the company's earnings growth. Payment volume growth on the platform has only accelerated.
DLocal (DLO) witnessed a jump in share price last session on above-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions for the stock doesn't suggest further strength down the road.
