Frequently asked questions

Is MELI growing its revenue and profit?

Over the past 5 years, Mercado Libre's revenue has grown 38.6% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.

How much debt does MELI have?

As of FY2025, Mercado Libre reported $9.2B of total debt against $3.7B of cash.

What is MELI's profit margin?

In FY2025, gross margin was 63.2%, operating margin 15.7%, and net margin 9.8%.

What is MELI's P/E ratio?

Mercado Libre's P/E (TTM) is 45.64 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the MELI stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 42.6× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.

Where does this data come from?

All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
