We again reiterate this Latin American e-commerce company as a TOP PICK. Its investment in Brazil is growing over $4 billion this year and the company intends to hire 11,000 new workers there to keep up with demand. Recently reported earnings showed a 71% increase in profits. Cash reserves are growing, while debt is aggressively retired and shares bought back. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $1300) to $1450, looking to achieve $2000 -- upside potential of 25%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $2007.59)Our PAST TOP PICK with MELI has triggered its stop at $1923. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment gain of 28%, when combined with our previous guidance.
"The AMZN of Latin America", without the cloud business. Largest online e-commerce and payments ecosystem in the region, active in 18 countries. Valuation's not all that bad. The fintech arm is growing faster than the e-commerce side. Shares trending higher since mid-2022. EPS growth rate forecast at 35%. One of the top EM growth stories out there. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $2535.46)
It's the Amazon of South America. The recent downturn is due to profit-taking, but also fears of US tariffs against Latin America. However, this gives you exposure to Latin America.
