Why MercadoLibre Might Outperform The Market
MELI
Published: August 25, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

MercadoLibre remains Latin America's e-commerce leader, benefiting from regional e-commerce penetration and a diversified business model including fintech and advertising.

Margin pressure stemmed from increased marketing and shipping incentives; net income dipped slightly due to FX losses, notably from the Argentine Peso.

MercadoLibre Q2: Sacrificing Margins For Growth
MELI
Published: August 10, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

I reiterate my buy recommendation for MercadoLibre after Q2, supported by strong revenue growth and robust fintech performance, especially in Argentina. The company's margin sacrifice is a strategic move for customer loyalty and market share, not a sign of weakness, and can be reversed if needed. Valuation using a 5-year DCF model indicates a fair value of $2,705 per share, offering a 16.8% upside and an attractive risk-reward profile.
