Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will DLocal's transaction volume growth exceed expectations this quarter?

Transaction volume is a critical driver of revenue, and any significant growth could indicate strong market demand.

What guidance will management provide for the upcoming quarters?

Guidance can heavily influence investor sentiment and expectations for future performance.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating DLocal's potential for revenue growth due to its unique positioning in emerging markets, which could lead to stronger-than-expected transaction volumes.

Supporting Evidence

The options market is pricing a significant move of 11.62%, indicating heightened expectations for volatility.

DLocal's historical performance shows a mixed reaction to earnings, suggesting that the market may not fully appreciate its growth potential.

Key Risk

If transaction volumes significantly exceed expectations, it could challenge the current consensus on revenue growth.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

The market is debating whether DLocal can sustain its growth trajectory amid increasing competition and economic challenges.

Bull Confirmed If

An EPS of $0.18 or higher, with revenue exceeding $339 million, would confirm the bull case.

Bear Confirmed If

An EPS below $0.17, with revenue falling short of $320 million, would confirm the bear case.
