MercadoLibre Q1: The Selloff Is A Gift
Summary I am reiterating a "buy" rating on MercadoLibre despite a 13% post-earnings drop, driven by strategic investments causing near-term margin compression while the top line accelerates.

Margin pressure stems from expanded free shipping, credit portfolio growth, and logistics capex, but unit shipping costs and engagement metrics are improving. With a 44% potential upside to the average price target and strengthening fundamentals, I am increasing my exposure, viewing risk-reward as highly attractive. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

MercadoLibre: Near Its Lowest Valuation Ever
Summary Higher rates have caused MercadoLibre's valuation to compress, expanding the forward returns it offers. Because risk = return, we'd expect the business' risk to also have expanded. But the opposite has been true: MercadoLibre is now more mature and more durable than ever, while remaining on a runway for growth that spans many years into the future. In short, I like MercadoLibre's risk = return setup today: Higher returns due to higher rates, and lower risk due to exceptional business strength and greater scale. This is exactly what we'd want in an investment setup. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 16

MercadoLibre: Strong 2025 Growth Expected, Shares Hit Key Support
Summary I have a buy rating on MercadoLibre due to its robust growth profile, strong technicals, and justified high P/E ratio near 60. Despite a Q3 earnings miss, MELI's growth trends are healthy, with significant gains in ad revenue, operating leverage, and market share. Key risks include macroeconomic slowdowns, political turmoil, increased competition, and higher interest rates, but MELI's fintech innovations and large addressable market offer upside potential.

MercadoLibre: Numerous Macro Headwinds (Rating Downgrade)
Summary I am downgrading MercadoLibre (MELI) to Hold due to previously underestimated country risks and macroeconomic headwinds. MELI's 17% stock decline in the past three months is attributed to foreign exchange headwinds and decelerating revenue growth. The Brazilian Real's significant depreciation and anticipated economic challenges in 2025 will likely impact MELI's performance reported in USD.

MercadoLibre Stock Is Shooting To The Moon
Summary MercadoLibre dominates Latin America's high-growth e-commerce market, supported by unique regional expertise, first-mover advantage, and diversified operations including fintech and logistics.

MercadoLibre: Buy The Unwarranted Pullback, Credit Growth Headwinds Are Temporary
Summary MELI's recent pullback to $1.77K is unwarranted indeed, since the strategic investments have contributed to the robust FQ3'24 performance metrics. At the same time, the credit segment headwinds are likely to be temporal, as the management continues to report healthy credit profile while accelerating into the upmarket segment. Even so, the recent correction has been a gift, since MELI now trades attractively at FWD PEG non-GAAP ratio of 1.41x, offering interested investors with excellent margin of safety. It has also triggered a richer upside potential to our raised long-term price target, offering double digits capital appreciation prospect to those whom buy the dip. In the long term, we believe that MELI's strategic investments are likely to drive its profitable growth prospects, aided by the region's nascent e-commerce, fintech, & advertising markets.

MercadoLibre: Recent Dip Adds Margin Of Safety
Summary MercadoLibre's stock dipped 15% despite strong revenue growth due to missing EPS estimates and a significant drop in EBIT margin. The company shows solid operational performance with growth in GMV, unique buyers, and fintech metrics, but faced pressure in margins. MercadoLibre's growth story remains credible, supported by market share gains and expansion opportunities, although competition and economic cyclicality pose risks.

MercadoLibre Is Still One Of The Best Growth Plays Out There
Summary I initiated coverage of MercadoLibre, Inc. with a "Buy" rating in May 2024. The stock is beating the market so far - will it last? I believe so.

MercadoLibre: It May Be Just The Beginning Of A Great Rally
Summary MercadoLibre stock has increased by 21.6% since my bullish call three months ago, outperforming the S&P 500 index. I believe it's just the beginning. After MELI's Q1 results, Wall Street estimates have not increased significantly overall. But the business is blooming as far as I see. MercadoLibre's fintech arm, MercadoPago, is driving high-quality growth, with significant increases in total assets under management and credit portfolio. The company's operating profit margin could reach 35% by 2028, potentially increasing its stock to $2,300-$2,500 shortly, based on my DCF model. I believe that MELI's long-term uptrend will continue - hence my "Buy" rating update today. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jun 12
Harding Loevner - MercadoLibre: Alternative Payment Systems Boosts Core Offering

Mercado Pago's success in Mexico, providing digital payments and credit to underserved populations, has strengthened MercadoLibre's market position against rivals like Amazon and Walmart. As Mercado Pago's credit business grows, the company must navigate funding and regulatory challenges to maintain its competitive edge and promote financial inclusion in Latin America.

MercadoLibre Stock Is A Growth Beast At A Reasonable Price
Summary MercadoLibre is the largest online trading ecosystem in Latin America, with a focus on improving e-commerce and digital financial services. The company has seen significant growth in its fintech division, with a credit portfolio exceeding $4.4 million and the issuance of 1.5 million credit cards. Despite challenges in Argentina's economy, MercadoLibre has managed to offset negative effects and maintain strong financial performance. I expect a continued contraction of MELI's key multiples amid rising earnings, which should ultimately lead to a continuation of the current upward trend in the medium term. MELI is a "Buy" right now, in my opinion. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • May 04
MercadoLibre: Another Staggering Quarter
Summary MercadoLibre recently delivered a stellar quarter with strong revenue and EPS growth.

MercadoLibre: Best Quarter In Recent Memory
Summary Today, we will briefly examine MercadoLibre, Inc.'s recent quarter, which, curiously, precipitated the recent prolonged selloff the stock has experienced. I use the word curiously because, as we will explore together, the report was phenomenal: In my eyes, there was nothing negative of note in it. In short, MercadoLibre's Q4 2023 was fantastic; in response to which, the market has traded the stock down to one of its lowest valuations in the company's history. And I believe this represents an opportunity for long-term investors, though, of course, I'd love to buy it even lower, and, with rates rising, we very well may get better swings.

MercadoLibre: LatAm's E-Commerce Juggernaut Ready To Rip Higher (Upgrade)
Summary MercadoLibre is LatAm's leading e-commerce company. The Company has benefited from LatAm's fast-growing e-commerce landscape and burgeoning fintech ecosystem. MELI suffered from near-term profitability uncertainties as it scaled up its first-party business and invested more aggressively in its logistics network. Despite that, MercadoLibre's expansion should underpin its network effects moat to outperform its smaller peers. With MELI consolidating well above the $1,460 level, I assessed it's getting ready to rip higher. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 07
MercadoLibre: An Attractively Valued Alternative To E-Commerce Giant Amazon
Summary MercadoLibre's e-commerce leadership in Latin America is a perfect storm for growth. There are many reasons to suggest Latin America's e-commerce sector will grow exponentially in the next few years. MercadoLibre's three biggest markets - Brazil, Argentina and Mexico - have made stellar progress in the last decade in expanding Internet access, which works well for the company's growth plans. The rise of social commerce is another factor that would help MercadoLibre grow in the coming years. Recent stats suggest Latin America is the frontrunner in this market segment. MercadoLibre's expanding fulfillment network is another growth machine. MercadoLibre is taking a leaf out of Amazon's playbook, something investors should look at when comparing the “Fab 5” e-commerce giant. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaShareholder Returns
