Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:NU) shares are up during Thursday’s session. The company disclosed a share repurchase program of up to $1.0 billion.
The Board of Directors of Nu Holdings has approved a share repurchase program that will be conducted over a 12-month period starting June 4, 2026.
This move comes as part of a strategic capital allocation policy, indicating that Nu’s operations are generating significant capital, which the Board believes is best utilized through share buybacks.
The company's confidence may be driven by the strong top-line growth reported last month.
In May, Nu Holdings reported first-quarter revenue of $5.32 billion, up 42% year-over-year, beating a consensus of $5.04 billion, according to data from Benzinga Pro. This marked the first time Nu Holdings had quarterly revenue of $5 billion or more.
New CFO Named
Nu Holdings on Monday announced the appointment of Rob Livingston as chief financial officer, effective July 13. Livingston joins from Visa Inc. (NYSE:V), where he served as CFO for North America, and succeeds Guilherme Lago, who will transition to a special advisor role.
The company said the leadership change will not alter its operating model, risk framework, or long-term strategy. Livingston will oversee global finance operations, including capital and liquidity management, investor relations, tax, reporting, and corporate development.
