On August 19, MercadoLibre rose 3.22% in regular trading, trading at approximately $1,843.91 per share, with turnover of $167 million. The rebound follows the previous session's 3.32% decline triggered by mid-year profit contraction and broader sector weakness.
On the news front, renowned investor Michael Burry recently disclosed portfolio changes, adding MercadoLibre to his long positions and praising the company as the Amazon of Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina. This institutional signal, combined with strong Q2 fundamentals, supported the rebound. The company reported Q2 revenue surpassing $10 billion for the first time, representing approximately 50% year-over-year growth, while EPS of $9.19 beat the consensus estimate of $8.58 by over 7%. However, EPS declined from $10.31 in the year-ago quarter, reflecting ongoing margin pressure from the company's aggressive reinvestment strategy.
The CEO has emphasized that MercadoLibre will not drastically alter its strategy to preserve growth, maintaining that value proposition remains the core consideration rather than short-term profitability metrics.
