Can Nu go bankrupt?
Altman Z2 is not used for banks and financial companies — their balance sheet is built on debt (that is the business model), so the model would wrongly classify a healthy bank as distressed. For Nu, look instead at the capital base (e.g. the core capital ratio), loan losses and earnings power.
Does Nu have a lot of debt?
Yes, Nu has elevated debt relative to equity. The debt-to-equity ratio (D/E — interest-bearing debt to equity) is 553%. For the financiel service sector, anything above 150% counts as elevated — that raises the financial risk, especially if interest rates rise or earnings fall. Note: D/E levels are highly sector-specific — a bank at 300% debt is normal, a tech stock at 300% is extremely leveraged. Always compare with similar companies in the same sector.
