MercadoLibre, often referred to as the Amazon of South America, shows promising growth potential due to favorable demographics and an under-penetrated market in Latin America. Despite some experts expressing concerns regarding its exposure to USD movements and competition, the company's strategic investments and operations in Brazil are noteworthy, with significant hiring plans and robust profit growth. Recent performance indicates a solid upward trajectory, with analysts noting substantial increases in cash reserves and aggressive debt retirement. While some experts suggest profit-taking amidst fears of external factors like tariffs, general sentiment remains optimistic about its future prospects.
"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.

He's not that familiar with this one. Look at free cashflow (operating cashflow minus capex). As a tech company,
stock-based compensation could be a potential landmine (giving out shares, but it "doesn't count" because it's not a cash item). Strong company, though some negative ROIC in the past going back to 2018 (which was before Covid). Too expensive here to buy afresh.
Leader in Central and South America. If you own it, hold, as long as returns on capital continue strong and don't turn negative. Probably a compounder, as these are winner-take-all businesses.
