Unfortunately, Brazil&#39;s national registry proved to have major flaws, and the company wound up relying on underwriting standards that led to lots of bad debt in its loan portfolio. Most of those loans have now been discharged or sold off to third parties at basement-level prices, but the company still has roughly $91.5 million in bad loans on its books.</p><p>Amid these challenges and the broader valuation pullback for growth stocks, StoneCo stock trades down roughly 90% from its high.</p><p>The remaining bad loans will likely have to be written off and, admittedly, put a dent in StoneCo&#39;s near-term financial outlook, but the situation should also be viewed in context.
