MercadoLibre, Inc. (MELI) on Decifer

Decifer ranks MELI number 83 of 270 tracked names on durable business quality.

Why it ranks here

  • It earns solid returns on the money it puts to work, around 12% and those returns have been improving and it turns most of its profit into real cash.
  • Revenue is growing about 39% a year, profits grew 5% over the past year, and growth is speeding up, not slowing down.
  • It keeps a healthy share of every sale as profit, and that has stayed steady over the years, a sign of real pricing power, with profitability widening as it grows.
  • It is riding an active market tailwind and has the balance sheet to fund its growth.
  • And it returns cash to shareholders.
  • Revenue growing about 39% a year with returns improving to 12% is compelling, but momentum of 10 out of 35 and no funded worldview role hold it back.
