Despite Turbulent Regional Macroenvironment, Mercadolibre's Momentum Continues to Impress

Sean Dunlop Equity Analyst

Business Strategy and Outlook

| Sean Dunlop |

MercadoLibre continues to position itself as a one-stop e-commerce solution for Latin American buyers and sellers. The firm has quietly developed a comprehensive ecosystem of mutually reinforcing services, with its core marketplace supported by a payments and lending arm (Mercado Pago), a best-in-breed shipping solution (Mercado Envios), a robust advertising platform, and a volume-generating classifieds business. With 98% of platform gross merchandise volume funneled through proprietary payment rails and more than 91% of items sold shipped managed through Envios, the marketplace operator has effectively addressed two of the biggest pain points in e-commerce.
