StoneCo's revenue, credit balances, payment volume, and deposits grew, but adjusted profit fell 15.5% as loan loss provisions and operating costs rose. The growth and profit decline point in different directions, so the report does not change its outlook.
More lending and deposits show customers are using more of StoneCo's services. But higher loan loss provisions and operating costs cut profit, so business growth did not translate into higher profit.
