BB rating sets a credit marker

The rating gives investors a fresh measure of StoneCo's balance-sheet risk as the company expands its banking and credit products. S&P expects debt to EBITDA to remain below 3.00x over the next two years and projects revenue growth below 5 percent in 2026 and 2027.

Three events shape the setup

Yahoo Finance reported that StoneCo's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached BRL 3.60 billion on August 13, 2026, while adjusted earnings per share grew 9 percent year over year. The company also reached 4.8 million active merchants in that quarter.

On October 15, 2026, MarketScreener reported that UBS raised its StoneCo price target from USD 13.00 to USD 15.00 and maintained a Buy rating.

What does the rating mean for margins?

The credit signal arrives alongside a more demanding operating backdrop. S&P said quarterly adjusted revenue growth in the first and second quarters of 2026 was below 5 percent, compared with double-digit growth during 2025, while StoneCo's credit portfolio reached BRL 3.80 billion in June 2026.
