AI commentary
T+1 tone is mixed. The company materials are emphatically growth-positive, but trusted coverage framed the quarter as revenue beat / profit miss, and post-release reaction was negative: packet news showed MELI falling about 7% after earnings, while secondary coverage described an immediate move toward the low-$1700s from the May 7 close of $1870.01. Analyst revision evidence is still thin this early, but it is not absent: a reported Scotiabank target cut to $2800 from $3500 after the print supports a margin-reset narrative rather than a clean beat-and-raise setup. With strong primary evidence but only modest forward specificity, this remains a cautious monitoring memo instead of an aggressive bullish call.

AI events
Q1'26 results showed net revenues and financial income of $8.845B (+49% YoY), TPV of $87.2B (+50% YoY), and GMV of $19.0B (+42% YoY), but income from operations fell 20% YoY as management chose to prioritize growth investments over near-term profitability; that mix drove the immediate post-print debate and a negative stock reaction [#8-K-2026-05-07].
Management said the lower free-shipping threshold in Brazil helped Brazil GMV growth accelerate to 38% FX-neutral, items sold rise 56% YoY, unique buyer growth reach 32% YoY, and local-currency unit shipping costs improve 17% YoY, supporting a case that current margin pressure is funding durable share gains [#8-K-2026-05-07].
AUM reached nearly $20B (+77% YoY) and the credit portfolio reached $14.6B (+87% YoY) with 15-90 day NPL at 8.0% broadly stable YoY, but NIMAL fell to 17.8% and management cited higher provisions and mix shift toward lower-spread credit card balances, leaving the next quarter as a key proof point on monetization quality [#8-K-2026-05-07].
