Description: MELI MercadoLibre
MercadoLibre Inc. (NASDAQ:MELI) runs a multi-segment online commerce ecosystem across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and other Latin-American markets, anchored by the Mercado Libre Marketplace that is reachable via web or mobile app.
Through its fintech arm, Mercado Pago, the firm offers a full suite of digital-payment services, including a wallet, short-term credit (Mercado Credito), and an investment product (Mercado Fondo) that lets users earn yields on idle balances.
Complementary logistics (Mercado Envios), classified listings (vehicles, real-estate, services), advertising solutions (Mercado Ads) and subscription-based storefronts (Mercado Shops) round out the platform, creating a “flywheel” that ties merchants, buyers and financial services together.
Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, the company is classified under the GICS sub-industry Broadline Retail and trades as common stock under the ticker MELI.
Key recent metrics (as of FY 2023) include ≈ 82 million active users, a 45 % YoY increase in gross merchandise volume (GMV), and fintech revenues accounting for roughly 55 % of total revenue-highlighting the growing importance of digital payments in a region where internet penetration is still expanding (≈ 70 % in Brazil, 65 % in Mexico). Inflationary pressures and currency volatility remain material risks, but they also drive consumer shift toward online price-comparison and cash-less transactions.
