MercadoLibre (MELI) has declined 22% despite the benchmark rallying, yet I maintain a Strong Buy rating. MELI consistently delivers significant revenue growth, reinforcing confidence in management and the long-term thesis. Forward P/E of 40x appears justified given at least 20% top and bottom-line growth expectations.
MercadoLibre is aggressively investing in fulfillment, driving record top line growth but causing margin compression and a 17% YTD share price decline. MELI's Q1'26 GMV surged 42% Y/Y, with Brazil leading at 54% Y/Y growth and accounting for over half of total revenue. Despite a 20% Y/Y drop in operating income and a 6 PP margin contraction in Q1'26, MELI's scale investments are expected to boost long-term market share and profitability.
MercadoLibre defies platform gravity by accelerating GMV growth and expanding take rates at massive scale, signaling deepening merchant and consumer dependency. I initiate MELI at Buy with a $2,300 price target, driven by logistics scale, fintech ecosystem strength, and anticipated EPS recovery in 2026–2027. Margin compression is a deliberate investment in logistics and fintech infrastructure, already yielding measurable cost advantages and cross-selling synergies.
Both stocks have sizable upside

Two of the loudest, most experienced voices in financial media just pounded the table on a stock the crowd has written off.
MercadoLibre (MELI) has declined over 35% from its 2025 peak, driven by concerns over margin compression amid heavy investment in logistics and payments. MELI's 1Q 2026 revenue grew 49% year-over-year, with management prioritizing long-term market share gains in Latin America's underpenetrated e-commerce sector. I estimate MELI's sustainable net margin at 6.5%-7.0%, supporting a fair value of $2,030–$2,185 per share—implying 20–29% upside from current levels.
MELI's rapid 1P commerce expansion is boosting growth and pricing power, but rising fulfillment and inventory costs are pressuring margins.

Wall Street is rediscovering the stock split playbook. In May 2026, KLA (NASDAQ: KLAC | KLAC Price Prediction) announced a 10-for-1 forward stock split alongside a fiscal Q3 earnings beat and a roughly 21% dividend hike, with shares trading in the $1,800 range.

The company has significant long-term opportunities, but the market isn't recognizing them right now.
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.

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. MELI's revenue growth is accelerating, with Commerce Revenue up 47% and Fintech revenue up 51% YoY, as strategic investments deepen user engagement. Margin pressure stems from expanded free shipping, credit portfolio growth, and logistics capex, but unit shipping costs and engagement metrics are improving.
