On October 1, Nu Holdings Ltd. rose 3.79% in pre-market trading, trading at $13.19/share, with turnover of $303,800. The stock continues its recovery after a sharp single-day decline of approximately 10% triggered by earlier acquisition rumors.

On the news front, Nu Holdings Ltd. disclosed in a regulatory filing that it is not pursuing a transaction with UK digital bank Monzo, stating it remains focused on its existing strategic priorities and that its capital allocation framework is unchanged. The filing directly addressed media reports from September 28 that cited sources claiming Nu was in talks to acquire Monzo in a deal valued at between 8 billion and 10 billion pounds. Monzo had reportedly engaged Morgan Stanley and Slaughter & May as advisors for the potential transaction.

The formal denial removed a key overhang that had weighed on shares, as investors had been concerned about the significant capital outlay required and the strategic risks of entering the European market where Nu currently has no material core operations. The stock had already rebounded over 6% in after-hours trading following the filing. Nu Holdings Ltd. is one of the world's largest digital banking platforms, primarily operating in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia.
