The Bottom Fishing Club - StoneCo: Playing Brazil's Rebound
I own StoneCo Ltd. for its undervaluation, improving technical trading pattern, and the potential for a stronger Brazilian real against the U.S. dollar in 2025. The stock trades at an ultra-low P/E of 8x, and EV to EBITDA ratio of 1.8x, making it a bargain choice in financial services. Technical momentum appears to have turned high over the past week, after many months of bearish action. Price could run higher over the next month or two.
