StoneCo Ltd. (STNE) reported its Q4 2024 earnings after the market close on March 18, 2025, with a revenue of $581.37 million, marking an 11.36% decrease year-over-year. The company's earnings per share stood at $0.32, down 11.11% from the previous year. Despite the year-over-year declines, StoneCo's performance was described as solid, with a 39.8% increase in adjusted EBT and a 41.3% rise in adjusted net income for the full year 2024. The company's management highlighted that they have nearly $2 per share in excess capital and are guiding for adjusted earnings per share to exceed $2.70 by 2027. This guidance suggests a 27% compound annual growth rate in earnings from 2024 to 2027. StoneCo's stock is currently trading at approximately 8 times trailing earnings and less than 8 times forward earnings, indicating that the stock could be considered undervalued by some market observers. The stock experienced a 9.6% gain in pre-market trading following the earnings release. In addition to its earnings report, StoneCo announced a hefty ongoing share buyback program. The company's management believes that if they achieve their 2027 earnings target and the Brazilian real remains stable, the stock could be seen as significantly undervalued at current prices. Some analysts suggest that the stock needs to reach at least $15, which would value it at around 4 times the projected 2027 earnings. On March 20, 2025, several other companies are scheduled to report their earnings after the market close, including Micron Technology (MU), Nike (NKE), FedEx (FDX), and Lennar Corp (LEN). Analysts estimate that Micron will report a revenue of $7.93 billion, up 36.16% year-over-year, with earnings per share of $1.97, a 369.05% increase from the previous year. Nike is expected to report a revenue of $11.03 billion, down 11.26% year-over-year, and earnings per share of $0.28, a 63.64% decrease from the previous year.
