AI Summary

6.0
Neutral

MELI is now a premium-valued fintech-and-ecosystem compounding story, not just e-commerce: its strong cash generation can fund growth, but investors should require evidence that logistics and Mercado Pago investment stabilizes margins and credit losses before adding near technical resistance.
