Revenue mix and competitive landscape

StoneCo Ltd. operates mainly in Brazil’s highly competitive payments and financial technology market, where revenue comes from a combination of merchant acquiring fees, payment processing, and ancillary financial services such as working capital and credit. For the latest reported period in 2026, revenue growth has been driven by expanded client coverage among small and medium-sized enterprises, though the pace of growth varies by segment and macroeconomic conditions in Brazil.

In prior years, StoneCo Ltd. reported double-digit revenue growth in its core acquiring business, with historical figures for fiscal year 2023 showing revenue in the range of several billion Brazilian real and a rising client base.
