Technical Analysis 
Jul 5, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 4 opinions in the last 12 months.
MercadoLibre (MELI-Q) showcases a compelling growth narrative in South America's digital economy, often likened to Amazon's dominance in the U.S. Despite recent investor sentiment trending negative, experts highlight robust underlying growth with recent revenue surging 49% year-over-year. The company's strategic investments in logistics and fintech are expected to yield significant long-term benefits, although they may cause short-term pain as reflected in a recent price drop. Although the stock trades at a premium forward PE of 40x, some experts see current levels as attractive despite geopolitical and currency volatility risks in the markets it operates. Overall, the dynamics surrounding its growth and operational improvements combined with a robust free cash flow position support the argument for further research into this stock.

Purchased it recently in one of his funds. It is the latin-american version of Amazon. Their operations focus in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. E-commerce will continue to grow, and it is a good way to get exposure in an area that is not typically on investor's radar. It is expensive, but it may always be expensive.

Kim BoltonPremium contentStockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly A similar e-commerce opportunity like SHOP is to North America, MELI is to Latin America. The company uses its platform to help businesses sell their items online and also has a fintech side of their business to help manage cash payments. The company reported strong Q1 earnings with sales growth over 30% for the past five years and the trend is catching on in the region. The company reports earnings this week, so there could be some opportune volatility. We would look to a pullback towards $1000 as an excellent entry point with an eye to re-test highs near $1200 or towards $1400.
