MercadoLibre, Inc. (MELI) reported a remarkable 68% year-over-year growth in foreign-exchange-neutral gross merchandise volume for its cross-border trade segment in the first quarter of 2026. This growth highlights the increasing importance of international commerce within its operations, particularly as the company connects merchants in China and the United States with buyers in Latin America.
During 2025, MercadoLibre simplified access to free shipping, expanded seller incentives, and opened its first fulfillment center in China. Growth has diversified beyond Mexico, with Argentina and Andean countries making significant contributions, especially in markets like Colombia and Peru.
Despite a recent decline of 11.1% in shares over the past six months, MercadoLibre’s financial outlook remains strong, with the Zacks Consensus Estimate projecting a 39.7% increase in sales for the current fiscal year and a 4% rise in earnings per share.
