MercadoLibre - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.

MercadoLibre
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in MercadoLibre, Inc. for these reasons:

The stock has a high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 54.80, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
Recent price target reductions by analysts, such as Wedbush lowering their target from $2,200.00 to $2,100.00, may signal concerns about future growth prospects.
Market volatility is reflected in the stock's beta of 1.64, suggesting that it is more volatile than the market, which could lead to higher risk for investors.
Despite strong revenue growth, the company operates in a competitive e-commerce environment, which could impact its market share and profitability in the long term.
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.78, while manageable, it indicates that the company is using a significant amount of debt to finance its operations, which could pose risks if market conditions change.
