MercadoLibre: Near-Term Margin Pressure Creates A Buying Opportunity
MercadoLibre remains a Buy, supported by robust ecosystem growth, resilient financials, and a margin of safety in valuation despite recent margin compression. MELI delivered 49% net revenue growth and a 42% GMV increase while continuing to invest heavily in strategic initiatives, accepting near-term margin pressure for long-term advantage. Macro risks persist, notably the potential for higher-for-longer interest rates, competitive pressure, and potential election volatility, but the company's strong balance sheet and market leadership also position it for long-term re-rating.
Why I Made MercadoLibre My Third Largest Position
MercadoLibre remains a high-conviction buy, with a 7% portfolio allocation as the stock found technical support at the 50-month/200 DMA and moved higher since. MELI's top-line growth is accelerating due to strategic investments in shipping, credit cards, and 1P commerce, despite ongoing margin compression. Consensus expects 42% revenue growth and a 12% EPS decline in Q2 FY26; beating EPS estimates could trigger a significant rerating as MELI trades 33% below all-time highs.
Mercado Libre's Margin Compression May Be A New Normal - Potential Technical Bottoming
Mercado Libre's FQ2'26 earnings call may show sequentially weaker margins and higher net debt ratios, as the management intensifies their commerce/logistics/fintech growth initiatives. This is, albeit with the aggressive investments strengthening conversion metrics, improving logistics efficiency, and growing cross-selling across commerce/fintech, lending credence to its high-growth prospects. The recent meltdown has triggered the compelling EV/Sales at 2.35x and PEG ratio at 1.21x, significantly aided by the potential emergence of a technical bottom.
MercadoLibre: Why Strong Growth Opportunities Make The Capex Worth It
MercadoLibre remains undervalued despite a challenging technical setup and recent underperformance versus Latin American equities and the S&P 500. MELI delivered strong Q1 revenue growth and user engagement, but shares fell sharply due to significant margin compression from aggressive long-term growth investments. I maintain a buy rating on MELI, with a revised fair value estimate of $2,475 based on $55 normalized EPS and a 45x P/E, reflecting robust out-year profit growth.

MercadoLibre: Scaling Tremendously Ahead Of A Rotation Trade
MercadoLibre is primed for a rebound after a ~30% stock decline despite accelerating growth, especially in Brazil.
