    What Is DLocal's Investment Narrative?

    To own DLocal, you have to believe in its ability to stay at the center of emerging‑market online payments while expanding into adjacent services like BNPL, stablecoins, and tokenized APMs without losing financial discipline. The recent analyst moves, with Truist lifting its target and Itaú BBA initiating coverage, mostly validate that story rather than change it, especially given the modest year to date pullback and the stock still trading well below consensus targets around US$18. The near term catalysts still hinge on how Q4 2025 results on March 18 back up the company’s high growth profile and whether new products such as BNPL Fuse translate into higher, high quality earnings. The bigger risks remain execution across 40 plus markets, regulatory and FX shocks, and a very new board overseeing a complex business.

    But that new board and rapid product rollout do add an extra layer of execution risk investors should understand. Despite retreating, DLocal's shares might still be trading 27% above their fair value. Discover the potential downside here.
