MercadoLibre Q2: Sacrificing Margins For Growth

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.

MercadoLibre's Accelerating Growth Flywheel Triggers Double-Digit Upside Potential

MercadoLibre remains an undisputed market leader in the Latam region, thanks to its robust growth flywheel across the commerce/advertising/logistics/fintech end-markets. The same has been observed in the excellent FQ2'25 performance, as the management strategically utilizes numerous levers to drive mindshare growth while reducing friction. Given minimal tariff headwinds, we believe that MELI may continue outperforming, especially aided by the untapped advertising prowess, thanks to the GOOG partnership and streaming initiatives.
