What are Wall Street analysts saying about Mercadolibre stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Mercadolibre stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "MercadoLibre reported impressive first quarter results wherein both earnings and revenues surpassed the estimates and grew year over year. Strengthening online-to-offline offerings drove the results. Also, its robust mobile-point-of-sale business and growing adoption of MercadoPago drove the total payment volume during the reported quarter. Additionally, MercadoLibre’s robust free shipping program aided the shipments growth via MercadoEnvios, which remained positive. Further, solid momentum across Brazil, Mexico and other countries aided the company’s top-line growth further. Additionally, rapid adoption of Mobile Wallet acted as a tailwind. Notably, the stock has outperformed the industry it belongs to over a year. However, macroeconomic headwinds in Argentina remained an overhang. Also, rising expenses related to warehousing, infrastructure transition on public clouds, free shipping subsidies and mPOS discounts are concerns." (5/10/2019)
