Frequently asked questions
What is MercadoLibre Inc.'s revenue?
MercadoLibre Inc.'s trailing twelve-month revenue is $31.80B, and consensus projects about $85.00B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is MELI?
In its most recent fiscal year, MELI ran a gross margin of 44.50%, an operating margin of 11.08%, and a net margin of 6.91%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does MELI generate?
MELI produced $10.77B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is MELI's balance sheet healthy?
MELI holds $3.67B in cash and equivalents against $4.49B in long-term debt, on $6.75B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
