Nu Holdings's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.38% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 111.05 million shares sold short, which is 2.97% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.99 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Nu Holdings Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1748620819_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Nu Holdings has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Nu Holdings's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Nu Holdings's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 0.92%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Looking Into Nu Holdings's Recent Short Interest

Nu Mexico and OXXO announce the launch of cash deposits at OXXO locations nationwide. The milestone expands the collaboration between the companies announced earlier this year.
This new feature will allow over 11 million Nu customers to securely and conveniently deposit funds through OXXO's extensive network of more than 23,000 OXXO stores&#x2A; using a deposit code, simplifying access to digital finances for a significant part of the Mexican population for whom cash remains relevant.
The service is built on Arcus by Mastercard infrastructure, facilitating interoperability between digital platforms and physical service points, reducing access gaps, especially in regions with limited traditional banking infrastructure. Through a robust correspondent network, customers can conveniently access products and services aligning with their daily habits and needs.

Nu Holdings shares are trading lower. The company announced that its dual president and COO will step down.

Nu Holdings Says Youssef Lahrech Is Stepping Down As President And COO; Lahrech Will Counsel The Audit, Risk Committee Of The Board Of Directors And Serve As Expert Advisor To The Company; Current Remit Will Be Absorbed By CEO David Velez

As ValueAct Holdings, LP. buys a fresh stake in Rocket Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), Andrew Left&#8216;s Citron Research endorses the move, calling the investment a &#8220;multi-year story.&#8221;
What Happened: The co-CEO and CIO of ValueAct, Mason Morfit, added 6.728 million shares worth $81.213 million to its portfolio during the first quarter, according to its 13F filings.
The company represented 1.8% of ValueAct&#8217;s total holdings as of the first quarter.
However, Rocket&#8217;s recent SEC filing dated May 15 showed that ValueAct held 15.125 million shares in the company, representing 9.9% of the total stake.
Citron Research cited this in an X post and lauded the co-CEO, Morfit, for being the &#8220;most strategic, long-term thinkers&#8221; and stating that he is one of the minds who reshaped Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) from the boardroom. 
&#8220;When someone like that sees $RKT as a compounder, it's not about quarterly noise—it's the start of a multi-year story,&#8221; said Citron&#8217;s post.
Highlighting Morfit&#8217;s comments, it added, &#8220;The CEO called Rocket a &#8216;sleeping giant&#8217; in its &#8216;early innings&#8217; yesterday,&#8221; the post added.

Berkshire Hathaway Sells Stake In Nu Holdings

Nu Holdings Ltd. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NU#NYSE">NU</a>) shares are trading higher Wednesday, reversing earlier losses following the release of weaker-than-expected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45393936/buffett-backed-nu-holdings-stock-drops-after-worse-than-expected-q1-results-details">first-quarter financial results</a>.
What To Know: The Warren Buffett-backed digital banking company reported earnings of 12 cents per share, missing the consensus <a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/NU/earnings">estimate</a> of 13 cents. Revenue came in at $3.2 billion, slightly below the $3.23 billion expected by analysts.
Despite the earnings and revenue miss, investors appeared to focus on Nu's strong customer metrics. The company added 4.3 million customers in the quarter, pushing its total customer base to 118.6 million across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia. Monthly average revenue per active customer increased 17% year-over-year, reaching $11.20. At the same time, cost efficiency improved, with average cost to serve per active customer falling to just seven cents.
Net interest income hit a record $1.8 billion, up 34% from a year ago, driven by a 62% expansion in the company's interest-earning portfolio. CEO David Vélez highlighted Nubank's expanding customer activity, noting that the platform saw nearly 99 million monthly active users with an activity rate above 83%.
&#8220;Starting 2025 strong, Nubank reached 118.6 million customers, adding over four million in a single quarter, showcasing its powerful platform scalability across Brazil, Mexico and Colombia,&#8221; Vélez said.
Shares initially dropped over 5% in after-hours trading on Tuesday following the earnings release, but have since recovered as market sentiment improved, potentially influenced by Susquehanna maintaining a Positive rating and raising its price target from $14 to $15.
The stock's recovery on Wednesday suggests continued confidence in Nu Holdings&#8217; ability to scale and sustain engagement across Latin America.
NU Price Action: Nu Holdings shares were up 2.85% at $13.52 at the time of publication, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?new_user=False&amp;backend=google-oauth2">Benzinga Pro.</a>
