Should You Hold or Fold MercadoLibre Stock at P/E Multiple of 42.7X?
MELI's steep 42.7X P/E raises questions as margin strain, credit risk and competitive pressure build beneath the surface.
Why MercadoLibre Might Outperform The Market
MercadoLibre remains Latin America's e-commerce leader, benefiting from regional e-commerce penetration and a diversified business model including fintech and advertising. Q2 2025 results showed strong revenue growth (33% YoY), robust user gains, and expanding fintech/advertising, but EPS missed expectations and margins compressed. Margin pressure stemmed from increased marketing and shipping incentives; net income dipped slightly due to FX losses, notably from the Argentine Peso.
Is MercadoLibre (MELI) a Buy as Wall Street Analysts Look Optimistic?
The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price.
