Analyst projections of the future price of MercadoLibre stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
The marketplace is still gaining scale: Q2 gross merchandise volume rose 36% year on year on an FX-neutral basis, while active buyers grew 26%. Brazil GMV rose 39%, with management reporting stronger repeat purchasing after lowering the free-shipping threshold. (MercadoLibre)
Mercado Pago is deepening its relationship with customers: monthly active users rose 30% in Q2, total payment volume grew 56%, and assets under management increased 68% to $23 billion. That gives MercadoLibre more ways to serve and earn from the same customer base. (MercadoLibre)
Advertising offers a fast-growing way to monetise the marketplace: Q2 advertising revenue rose 73% in US dollars. MercadoLibre also says AI-powered search improved conversion and click-through rates enough to more than cover the cost of third-party models. (MercadoLibre)
Profitability is under pressure despite rapid growth: Q2 operating income fell 17% to $683 million and the operating margin dropped to 6.7% from 12.2% a year earlier, even as revenue rose 50%. Ongoing spending on shipping, pricing and other growth initiatives may keep weighing on returns. (SEC, MercadoLibre)
Competition from Amazon, Temu and Shopee is intensifying in the region. Price and delivery competition could make it harder for MercadoLibre to protect marketplace share without further investment. (Reuters)
