MercadoLibre shares plummet after Q3 earnings miss estimates
Updates shares move and adds analysts quotes
MEXICO CITY, Nov 7 (Reuters) -** Shares in Latin American e-commerce giant MercadoLibre MELI.O sink 16.4% to $1,770.45 after its third-quarter results fell short of market expectations.
** MercadoLibre posted a near 11% increase in its third-quarter net profit, but missed market estimates as logistics and credit costs offset revenue growth.
** In addition to missing expectations, "these results are likely to prompt downward revisions to consensus estimates for 2025 and 2026," JPMorgan analysts say in a research note.
** Today's losses wipe off $17.6 billion from the company's market cap as the firm underperforms the Nasdaq 100 index, which rises 1.3%.
** Share on track for its worst day since May 2022, when it closed 16.9% lower.
** BTG bank analysts note the disappointing results would weigh on the stock, but flagged that "most of the margin pressure came from strategic investments the company has made to boost its ecosystem," aiming to support the ecommerce growth.
** The company, which operates an online marketplace in around 20 countries and runs fintech Mercado Pago, reported net income of $397 million for the quarter ended in September, while analysts polled by LSEG were expecting a profit of $542 million.
