Stone’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the last four quarters but missed the mark once. STNE has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 28.35% on average.

Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors to Consider

StoneCo’s addition of features and capabilities to its platform to help clients better manage business has been aiding its client base expansion and improving loyalty. This trend is most likely to have continued in the third quarter as well.

The company’s strengthening footprint among small-and-medium sized (SMB) businesses is expected to have a widened user base in the to-be-reported quarter.

Stone’s efforts in evolving its banking solution for SMBs have been noteworthy. The inclusion of new solutions like debit cards and the ongoing credit card pilot program for Stone clients are likely to have increased client deposits and active banking client base in the to-be-reported quarter.

Stone’s software client base is expected to have been boosted by increased cross-selling opportunities. It continues to expand its presence within medium and small clients by scaling its distribution channels, thereby improving the top line in the quarter to be reported.
