Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 46% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published April 8, 2026
XP looks appealing for a short-term, selective financials holding because its price is still reasonable, the business is profitable, and more trading has returned. Recent investor education programs and higher price-target talk link directly to rising retail trading, giving the story a clear operational reason to improve. Timing is the main risk given recent upside and country volatility.
Primary drivers
- Rising retail trading and education programs help keep transactions active
- Price is modest relative to a profitable wealth and brokerage business
- Earnings and target updates have become more positive for sentiment
- Chart looks OK, but calmer entries lower risk from sharp swings
How it played out
XP: the 16% thesis did not play out
Lyra published a short-term thesis for 16% growth from a $20.04 publication price. The thesis pointed to active retail trading, investor education programs, a modest valuation for a profitable wealth and brokerage business, and more positive earnings and price-target updates. It also cited timing and country volatility as risks.
XP peaked at $21.51 on April 17, a 7.3% gain, but stayed below the $22.95 target. It never reached the target during the window. By July 7, the price had fallen to $15.97. The thesis did not play out.
What happened during the window
On May 18, 2026, XP reported first-quarter results, including 2.7 million retail daily active traders, up 23% year over year, and adjusted net income of R$1,318 million, up 7%.
