In the study of various q-versions of the Bernstein polynomials, a significant attention is paid to their limit operators. The present work focuses on the impact of the limit q-Stancu operator \(S_{\infty }^{q,\alpha }\) on the analytic properties of functions when \(0<q<1\) and \(\alpha >0.\) It is shown that for every \(f\in C[0,1],\) the function \(S_{\infty }^{q,\alpha }f\) admits an analytic continuation into the disk \(\{z: |z+\alpha /(1-q)|<1+\alpha /(1-q)\}.\) In addition, it is proved that the more derivatives f has at \(x=1,\) the wider this disk becomes. Further, if f is infinitely differentiable at \(x=1,\) then the function \(S_{\infty }^{q,\alpha }f\) is entire. Finally, some growth estimates for \((S_{\infty }^{q,\alpha }f)(z)\) are obtained.
