Brazil's political developments have driven a selloff that makes MercadoLibre a dip opportunity. MELI is down 11% amid the market's reaction. x.com 

MercadoLibre's growth under Lula makes today's selloff look absurd. On a TTM basis since Q1 2023, revenue is up 206% and EPS 200%; having done so well during his term, it should be fine going forward. x.com  x.com 

Sea Limited's threat from TikTok Shop is understated, because TikTok is a social network that added a shop, creating purchase interest from scratch, while Shopee is a shopping app trying to act social. Video reviews and seconds-long checkout make buying a natural part of scrolling, and Shopee Live cannot easily copy that. Southeast Asian e-commerce may end as a duopoly with two winners, but without a clear monopoly Sea is a less ideal investment than businesses such as Axon. x.com  x.com 

Excellent management makes dLocal, MercadoLibre and Nu Holdings three great companies to pick up at a discount after the Lula-election selloff. Their Brazil exposure sent them down 9%, 9% and 22% on claims that the investment climate had worsened, a claim worth questioning. x.com 

MercadoLibre and Nu Holdings have massive runways and have thrived across political backdrops, so they do not need tax cuts or deregulation to keep winning. Both have performed extremely well in Brazil under Lula since 2023, even in a fragile macro backdrop. The election-driven selloff left these cream-of-the-crop businesses at lower multiples, and more near-term selloffs are possible. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Coupang, Sea and MercadoLibre remain dead money: their charts are broken, they are still overvalued and they face too much competition. Even after recent gains in Sea, they could stay dead money from here; they might be value, but that won't be known for a couple of years, and value traps are a devastating source of capital impairment. x.com  x.com 

Sea Limited's main attraction is a valuation well below its historical medians despite accelerating growth, at 23.2x forward earnings and 12.5x forward EV/EBITDA. All three segments are now profitable. Shopee revenue growth accelerated five straight quarters to 48.2% in Q2, lifting its take rate to a record 14.6%, and Garena grew 33.5% at a 54% operating margin. Per Magpie IQ, TikTok Shop's tracked Indonesian GMV fell about 4% in January-May. Monee's credit quality is the key risk to watch. … Show more

MercadoLibre's collapsing margins and earnings make its 45-times-earnings valuation look like a value trap. It faces intense competition, and less of its revenue reaches the bottom line; falling earnings make the stock more expensive even as its price falls. Nu Holdings trades at 17 times earnings and Inter & Co at 7 times, with both growing revenue and earnings robustly. Selling MercadoLibre to build positions in companies with better fundamentals is under consideration. x.com  x.com  x.com  x.com 

Sea, MercadoLibre, Nike and Lululemon have potential but are not buys until a confirmed uptrend forms. A good company is not necessarily a great stock, and a downtrend does not reverse on one earnings beat and a few green weeks. Sea gave back all its post-earnings gains as traders took swings, shorts covered and funds bought, showing it had not bottomed. Investors should hold names already trending, with clear higher highs, and keep these on a watchlist. x.com 

MercadoLibre's commerce and fintech revenue growth underpins the view that its shares are undervalued at current prices. The attached chart shows quarterly commerce services revenue reaching $4.3 billion and fintech revenue $4.4 billion in June 2026, up from $769 million and $467 million in March 2021. x.com
