Dlocal shares drop 20% YTD as Truist cuts target to $15 amid expense concerns

Dlocal, a financial technology company providing cross-border payment processing in emerging markets, has seen its price target lowered by Truist from $16 to $15. Despite a 20% year-to-date decline, analysts see a median upside of 60.1%. The company connects businesses to over 900 local payment methods across 40-plus countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Whilst Dlocal lacks a core AI product, it benefits from AI implementation through fraud detection, optimised transaction routing and automated anti-money laundering frameworks. Truist's caution stems from elevated operating expenses, which may not decline until late 2026. However, Dlocal posted first-quarter revenue of $335.86 million, beating consensus estimates by $4.67 million, with gross profits expected to grow in the low single-digit range driven by strong volumetric growth.

DLocal Limited has reported strong first-quarter 2026 results, with Total Payment Volume exceeding $14 billion for the first time, up 73% year-over-year.

Latin America's top fintechs tumble as MercadoLibre falls 42%, DLocal 34%, Nu 32% from highs

MercadoLibre, DLocal and Nu Holdings have declined sharply following disappointing earnings, with shares falling 17%, 13% and 6% respectively since their latest results. The stocks are now trading 42%, 35% and 32% below recent highs. MercadoLibre's market capitalisation has shrunk from $134 billion to $78 billion over the past year, despite revenue accelerating 49% in its latest quarter. The decline stems from investor concerns over an 87% jump in its credit portfolio, which has squeezed margins through bad-debt reserves and raised fears about credit risk exposure. However, positive fundamentals remain: Mercado Pago processed $87.2 billion in payment volume, up 50% year-over-year, whilst gross merchandise volume rose 42% to $19 billion. At least 10 analysts have cut price targets on MercadoLibre following the results.
