Nu Holdings, the Brazilian fintech firm backed by billionaire Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has picked the New York Stock Exchange for its initial public offering, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The transaction is expected to take place in December and value Nubank, as the firm is known, at more than $50 billion, the person said, asking not to be named because the matter isn’t public yet. Deliberations are ongoing, so the details may change.
