MercadoLibre's Margins Are Falling - And That's Bullish
MercadoLibre is rated BUY, as I see short-term margin compression as a strategic investment for long-term ecosystem dominance. MELI's Q1'26 revenue surged 49% YoY, driven by robust growth in both Commerce (39%) and Fintech (54%) segments, despite operating margin dropping to 6.9%. Margin pressure stems from aggressive credit expansion, lower free shipping thresholds, targeted take rate cuts, and heavy 1P inventory investment.

MercadoLibre Q1: The Selloff Is A Gift
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.
