Consumer Sentiment Drops 10%, UnitedHealth Under Investigation: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>) shares are trading lower following the company's fourth-quarter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43869101/nu-holdings-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-in-line-22-customer-growth-and-more">revenue miss</a>.
What To Know: The digital banking company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $2.99 billion, falling short of analyst estimates of $3.29 billion. Earnings per share came in at 11 cents, matching expectations. 
Despite the revenue miss, Nu Holdings continued to expand its customer base, adding 4.5 million new users in fourth-quarter, bringing its total to 114.2 million, a 22% increase year-over-year. The company also became the third-largest financial institution in Brazil by customer count. CEO David Vélez highlighted advancements in the company's high-income strategy in Brazil, as well as growth in Mexico and new offerings like NuCel and NuTravel.
Nu's interest-earning portfolio reached $11.2 billion by the end of the quarter, with its credit card portfolio growing 28% year-over-year and total deposits surging 55%. However, the revenue miss overshadowed these growth metrics, leading to the stock&#8217;s sharp decline.
NU Price Action: Nu Holdings shares were down 15.7% at $11.25 at the time of writing, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>

Palantir Rally Loses Steam, Walmart Outlook Disappoints: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett and Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood are two of the most sought-after investors in the capital markets, with significant media attention centered on their stock picks.
They have different philosophies, with Buffett advocating for long-term investments, while Wood routinely <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/02/43613535/cathie-wood-dumps-16-million-worth-of-palantir-stock-after-record-highs">offloads and adds to her positions</a> based on the market's fluctuations.
That said, one particular stock has been on the radar of both seasoned investors.
What happened: Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>), a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/content/42035188/warren-buffett-cathie-wood-own-nu-holdings-should-you">Brazil-based fintech firm</a> that provides digital banking services in Latin America, has had a great start to 2025, gaining 30.12% year-to-date.
The lightweight, valued at over $64 billion, also has a cryptocurrency arm, Nubank Cripto, which allows users to send and receive coins, such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), directly from their wallets.
Berkshire Hathaway holds 40.18 million shares of Nu Holdings, translating to a market value of $416.26 billion, according to the firm's latest 13F filing.
On the other hand, Ark Invest owns 2.086 million shares of the cryptocurrency-friendly bank, worth $21.61 million.

Interestingly, the Nu Holdings has returned more this year than the respective top holdings of the two companies.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/02/43618900/apple-vs-ibit-bitcoin-etf-one-is-warren-buffetts-berkshire-hathaways-biggest-holding-the-other-gives-exposure-to-a-crypto-he-vehemently-dislikes-which-has-generated-better-yearly-returns">biggest stock</a> in Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s portfolio, with a stake worth over $75 billion at the end of December. Year-to-date, shares of the tech giant have fallen 2.22%.
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) was Ark Invest's top holding, valued at $1.327 billion. Shares of the electric vehicle giant have bled 10.72%.
Clearly, the under-the-radar stock has overwhelmingly beaten the two behemoths and justified its presence in the portfolios of the two legendary investors.&nbsp;
Price Action: Shares of Nu Holdings closed 0.44% lower at $13.48 during Wednesday&#8217;s regular session, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
