StoneCo Reports Strong Quarterly Revenues; Shares Drop

StoneCo Ltd. (STNE), a financial technology and software solutions provider, has posted strong third-quarter 2021 revenues. Meanwhile, shares of the company declined 10.3% in the extended trading session on Tuesday due to lower year-over-year growth in some metrics.
