AI Summary
MELI should now be viewed as a premium compounder in a deliberate reinvestment phaseâstill delivering strong revenue, cash flow, and returns, but with valuation increasingly dependent on whether heavy spending on logistics, fintech, ads, and AI translates into durable margin and earnings power before FX, credit, and competitive pressures erode the payoff.
