MercadoLibre (MELI) Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
MercadoLibre's strong outlook is supported by substantial growth in Brazil's e-commerce sales, which surged approximately 22% in November and December, reflecting robust market demand. The company's credit segment has shown exceptional performance, with its total credit portfolio expanding by 83% year-over-year in the third quarter, accompanied by a 69% increase in credit revenues. Additionally, operating margins are expected to grow by about 50 basis points, reaching 11.7% in 2026, while a strategic increase in sales and marketing expenses to 11.3% of revenues indicates a commitment to further enhance market presence.
Bears say
MercadoLibre is facing increased competitive pressure in Brazil, coupled with potential risks from emerging AI technologies, which have contributed to a less favorable sentiment towards the stock. The company is expected to experience reduced profitability estimates due to the implementation of lower minimums for free shipping in Brazil and increased logistics-related investments, as well as elevated sales and marketing expenditures. Additionally, advertising revenue, a crucial growth component, has significantly underperformed, accounting for only approximately 2.4% of gross merchandise volume in the third quarter, falling short of the company's long-term expectations.
