- Special Report: Elon Musk: This Could Turn $100 into $100,000
MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI), often called the Amazon (NYSE: AMZN) of Latin America, may be nearing discount territory. The stock is down almost 40% from its all-time high and roughly 20% year to date. Market selloffs can be uncomfortable, but they also create long-term buying opportunities in high-quality companies. Elon Musk is burning nearly $1 billion a month running dozens of gas turbines around the clock — because he can't power the world's largest supercomputer without equipment that takes up to 2 years to source. One small company can deliver that equipment on his timeline. Wall Street hasn't connected the dots yet. See the one stock Musk can't build his supercomputer without With MELI's valuation compressing significantly, sidelined investors may finally be getting the entry point they've been waiting for. A Dominant Force in Latin American E-Commerce MercadoLibre is the leading e-commerce and fintech platform in Latin America, connecting millions of buyers and sellers across 18 countries. Its core business is a vast online marketplace spanning electronics, fashion, vehicles and more. But the company is far more than an online marketplace: it also provides digital payments, credit and insurance services, targeting the region's rapidly growing and largely underserved middle class. That combination of e-commerce leadership and expanding financial services positions MercadoLibre as a key participant in Latin America's broader economic development. A Company Still Very Much in Growth Mode There are clear reasons sentiment on MELI remains broadly bullish. The company has been consistently growing sales and expanding its footprint across Latin America at an impressive pace. Throughout 2025 it beat revenue estimates each quarter. Its most recent report, released Feb. 24 for Q4 2025, produced some headline noise: MELI reported a 12.5% decline in quarterly profits, missing expectations on the bottom line. The reason matters. Management deliberately increased investments aimed at long-term performance, including issuing more credit cards (which raises provisions), expanding free shipping and scaling its first-party direct sales model. These are growth investments, not evidence of a deteriorating business — and management has made similar trade-offs before. The top-line data supports that approach. Revenue rose 45% year over year to $8.8 billion, comfortably above the $8.5 billion analyst consensus. The company's credit portfolio jumped 90% year over year to $12.5 billion, and total payment volume in the acquiring business grew roughly 40%. Looking ahead, earnings are forecast to grow about 43.6% next year, from $43.96 to $63.13 per share. Sentiment Is Bullish as the Stock Enters a Deep Pullback Despite the sharp decline, Wall Street and institutions remain largely bullish. Based on 19 analyst ratings, MELI has a consensus rating of Moderate Buy. The consensus price target implies nearly 70% upside from current levels — a substantial projection for a company valued around $82 billion, and one that reflects conviction in the long-term opportunity. Institutional flows tell a similar story. Over the prior 12 months, institutions bought more than $20 billion of MELI stock versus outflows of just under $15 billion. Insider selling has been minimal: only three insider sales were recorded over the past year, totaling about $2.3 million. That kind of insider restraint during a major uptrend and the current drawdown is notable. The Chart Is Approaching a Key Level On the weekly timeframe, MELI remains in a broader uptrend. The stock is approaching its 200-day simple moving average, a level that has historically acted as meaningful support. If MELI begins to build a base around this area, it could mark the start of stabilization. The valuation mix is also becoming more attractive. With the forward price-to-earnings ratio now approaching the low 20s, MELI is trading at one of its more compelling entry points in recent years. For long-term investors seeking exposure to a Latin American e-commerce and fintech leader, the setup is becoming harder to ignore. |
