Description: MELI MercadoLibre December 02, 2025

MercadoLibre Inc. (NASDAQ:MELI) runs an integrated e-commerce and fintech ecosystem across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and other Latin-American markets. Its core offerings include the Mercado Libre Marketplace (web and mobile), the Mercado Pago payments suite, and ancillary services such as Mercado Fondo (investment), Mercado Credito (lending), Mercado Envios (logistics), Mercado Classifieds (vehicles, real estate, services), Mercado Ads (advertising) and Mercado Shops (subscription-based storefronts).

Key recent metrics underscore the platform’s momentum: FY 2024 net revenue rose ~28 % YoY to $9.6 bn, driven by a 35 % increase in gross merchandise volume (GMV) to $45 bn; active buyers reached 82 million, up 22 % year-over-year; and Mercado Pago contributed ~45 % of total revenue, reflecting deeper fintech penetration. Growth is further supported by macro trends-rising internet penetration (≈75 % in Brazil and Mexico), expanding middle-class consumption, and a regional shift toward digital payments accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

For a deeper, data-rich view of MELI’s valuation dynamics, you might explore the analytics platform ValueRay to see how these drivers translate into forward-looking price scenarios.
