XP Inc (ISIN KYG982391099) was trading at USD 28.56 on Nasdaq on October 5, 2026, at 1:52 p.m. ET, up 32.82 percent from the previous close. The move follows a second-quarter earnings beat and puts the Brazilian financial platform above its recent valuation range.

Q2 earnings strengthen the case

MarketBeat reports that XP delivered adjusted EPS of USD 0.53 in Q2 2026, beating the USD 0.50 consensus by USD 0.03. Revenue reached USD 943.55 million, compared with USD 935.15 million expected, and increased 8.3 percent from the same quarter a year earlier.

The company's investor-relations page lists Q2 2026 12-month gross revenue of BRL 20.2 billion and earnings before taxes of BRL 6.0 billion, giving the earnings beat a broader operating backdrop. Client assets also reached BRL 1.534 trillion in the period, according to XP Inc.

Analysts remain divided on value

As of October 5, 2026, MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus based on six analysts, with four Buy ratings and two Hold ratings and an average price target of USD 23.50. That target sits below the intraday price of USD 28.56, making the rally's durability more important than the headline target itself.

Yahoo Finance shows Citigroup maintained its Buy rating on September 29, 2026, while raising its target from USD 23.00 to USD 25.00. The change was positive, but the new target still trails the October 5 trading price, leaving earnings execution and capital returns as the central valuation tests.

Stock reaches a new yearly high

XP's intraday range on October 5, 2026, was USD 25.84 to USD 29.00, against a 52-week range of USD 14.80 to USD 29.00. Volume stood at 34,791,856 shares, while market capitalization reached USD 14.9 billion.

For investors, the key contrast is clear: Q2 revenue grew 8.3 percent year over year, while the share price was up 32.82 percent in the October 5 session. That gap raises the importance of whether future operating growth can continue to support the re-rating.
