Expectations

Wall Street Expectations

Overall, investors are cautiously optimistic about DLocal's upcoming earnings, hoping for signs of improved transaction growth and profitability. However, the recent EPS miss has raised concerns about the company's ability to meet growth targets.

Bull Case

If DLocal can demonstrate strong transaction volume growth and maintain or improve its gross margin, it could lead to a significant positive reaction in the stock price.

Bear Case

Conversely, if the company fails to show meaningful growth in key metrics or provides weak guidance, it could result in a sharp decline in the stock price.

Key Metrics to Watch

Transaction Volume Growth

Expected to show strong growth compared to previous quarters.

This metric is vital as it indicates the company's ability to scale its operations and attract more customers.

Gross Margin

Expected to remain stable or improve slightly.

Gross margin reflects the company's profitability and efficiency in managing costs, which is crucial for sustaining growth.

Customer Acquisition Rate

Anticipated to increase as the company expands its services.

A higher customer acquisition rate suggests effective marketing and product offerings, which can drive future revenue.

Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

Will transaction volume growth exceed 20% YoY?

This growth rate is crucial for demonstrating the company's ability to scale and attract new customers, which is a key driver for future revenue.

What is the outlook for gross margin in the next quarter?

Understanding the gross margin will provide insights into the company's profitability and operational efficiency, which are critical for investor confidence.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating DLocal's potential for transaction volume growth due to its strategic expansions in emerging markets.

Supporting Evidence

Options are pricing in a 19.41% move, indicating significant uncertainty that may not align with the company's growth trajectory.

The recent stock performance suggests resilience despite a missed EPS, indicating underlying strength.

Management's focus on efficiency improvements could lead to better-than-expected margins.

Key Risk

If transaction volume growth exceeds 20%, it could shift the narrative significantly, leading to a reevaluation of the company's growth potential.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

This quarter's performance will hinge on DLocal's ability to demonstrate strong growth metrics and maintain profitability amid competitive pressures.

Bull Confirmed If

Transaction volume growth of over 20% YoY with gross margin holding above 60%.

Bear Confirmed If

Transaction volume growth below 10% YoY or a gross margin decline below 55%.
