# STNE (StoneCo Ltd.) — Research Report as of 2026-08-19

## Recent Catalyst: Q2 2026 Earnings (August 13, 2026)

The dominant near-term catalyst is StoneCo's Q2 2026 earnings release on August 13, 2026, just six days ago [[1]](https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/309517/StoneCo-Reports-Second-Quarter-2026-Results)[[7]](https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/STNE/Earnings/Earnings-Dates/). The results were mixed and the market reaction was decidedly negative:

- **EPS:** StoneCo reported EPS of $0.47, slightly beating the $0.46 consensus estimate by 2.17% [[6]](https://public.com/stocks/stne/earnings). However, another source reports EPS of $2.44 against a $2.46 estimate, implying a narrow miss [[4]](https://www.quiverquant.com/news/STONECO+%28%24STNE%29+Releases+Q2+2026+Earnings). A third source cites adjusted EPS of $2.40 matching expectations [[3]](https://www.investing.com/news/transcripts/earnings-call-transcript-stoneco-posts-mixed-q2-2026-results-as-revenue-misses-93CH-4859479). The discrepancy likely reflects different reporting bases (GAAP vs. adjusted, or per-ADS vs. per-share), but the takeaway across sources is that earnings were roughly in line — not a blowout.
