My $DLO thesis in short:

Basically a mini- $ADYEN. They do cross-border payments for merchants in emerging markets. They enable merchants to accept and disburse payments through one single API.

The Good:
✅ Fast growing TPV - over XX% CAGR since 2021
✅ Fast growing revenue - Close to XX% CAGR last X years, and still expected to double in the next X
✅ Strong cash position /no debt
✅ Margins stabilizing
✅ FCF margin currently XXX% but expected to normalize around XX%
✅ ROCE above XX%
✅ Strong CEO with Pedro Arnt
✅ Huge TAM to attack

The risky:
❌High concentration in a small group of merchants
❌ Currency risks and exposure to economic instability
❌Regulatory changes
❌Competing with big players like $ADYEN and $STRIPE
❌Take rate could be pressured by big merchants as their volume increases

The money:
How do they make money: 
👉Through transaction fees: taking a small percentage of each payment they process
👉Currency exchange fees: They charge for converting local currencies into dollars or euros for the merchant.

💸Valuation: attractive

Thoughts?
