XP provides financial services and advisory services to clients primarily in Brazil. Recently reported earnings showed an all time high in net income - growing 18% over the year. Cash reserves are growing on strong cash flows, allowing shares to be bought back. It trades at 10x earnings, 2.2x book and supports a ROE of 22% (impressive for a financial company). Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio of 40% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $13, looking to achieve $22 -- upside potential of 31%. Yield 3.8%
