“MercadoLibre delivered strong first-quarter 2026 revenue growth, with net revenues rising 49 percent year-over-year to US$8.8bn, but profitability weakened as net income dropped 15.6 percent to US$417m. The share price weakness reflects investor concern that the company is prioritising market share, logistics scale and fintech growth over near-term margins, particularly through free-shipping expansion in Brazil, higher fulfilment subsidies, lower-margin first-party sales and rising credit provisions as the credit card portfolio more than doubled. While the downturn in margins is now becoming somewhat protracted, we continue to believe that this medium-term investment sets it up for a long runway of growth in the future.”

- March 2026
“Market Outlook After a period like the last quarter, many investors get stuck trying to predict what comes next. We have always steadfastly avoided speculating on macro scenarios or market movements. Instead, we turn our attention to closely analyzing our companies, our portfolio risks, and our opportunities. We interrogate the fundamentals of our holdings and how they should hold up in challenging conditions, including intense oil and commodity price shocks. Our assessment is that our portfolio remains resilient and capable of earnings growth in most economic scenarios. Nevertheless, there may be specific and broader risks given the ongoing geopolitical environment which is why we continue to monitor performance very closely. In addition, the volatility we are experiencing creates opportunities in mispriced stocks, overestimated negative impacts, and underestimated potential upsides for companies over the long-term. Consumer stocks have held up well but do face pressure in negative macro environments. Energy cost spikes will reduce consumer spending power, while the potential for interest rate rises will add to the squeeze. For a company like Mercado Libre, the macro environment can mean pressure on its lower- income customer segment, potentially impacting sales growth, which has come from a focus on smaller-ticket items.”
