1 Year Later, MercadoLibre Is Two-Thirds Bigger
Ordinarily, this is how things work in the stock market: First, a stock reports bad earnings news, then its stock goes down -- but on Thursday, MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) flipped that script.
First, shares of the Latin American e-commerce giant plummeted in Thursday's global tech rout, closing the day down 10.8%. It was only after the market closed for the day that MercadoLibre reported its first-quarter earnings had missed expectations, coming in $0.06 shy of analysts' $1.36-per-share forecast.
The good news: MercadoLibre's $2.2 billion in quarterly revenue beat forecasts for $2 billion. In my view, this was the most important takeaway from MercadoLibre's Q1 report.
