Q2 revenue rises to USD 10.17 billion
MercadoLibre's diluted EPS reached USD 9.19 in Q2 2026, compared with the USD 8.65 consensus cited by MarketBeat. Revenue also exceeded the USD 9.79 billion estimate, giving the quarter a second quantified beat alongside the earnings figure.
The growth came as MercadoLibre continued to combine its online marketplace with Mercado Pago financial services. Its operating model links commerce, payments, logistics, advertising and lending, so revenue expansion also increases the importance of credit quality and operating discipline.
Analysts see a USD 2,283.13 target
The analyst picture remains constructive but not uniform. MarketBeat reports a Moderate Buy consensus from 18 analysts, with 12 Buy ratings and 6 Hold ratings.
The average 12-month target is USD 2,283.13, with a high of USD 2,900.00 and a low of USD 1,750.00. Against the USD 1,696.56 October 2 close, the average target implies 34.57 percent upside, while the low target remains above the share price.
Debt adds a second investor checkpoint
Funding is another part of the valuation discussion. Reuters reported on September 9, 2026, that MercadoLibre raised USD 1.0 billion through senior unsecured notes due in 2036, carrying a 5.850 percent coupon. The company said the proceeds were intended for general corporate purposes, placing future interest costs alongside the rapid top-line growth.
