— 1 · The Locked Call

MercadoLibre Q3 2026 net revenues land ≥$9.5 billion — P = 0.93.

We lock a binary: MercadoLibre reports third-quarter 2026 net revenues and financial income of at least $9.5 billion, per the company's results release. Confidence 93%.

— 2 · Why it's nail-able

Growing 50% year-on-year, the floor sits below the quarter already delivered.

MercadoLibre grew net revenues 50% to $10.17bn in Q2 with GMV up 44% and payment volume up 56%, and its fintech book — $23bn of assets under management and a credit portfolio above $16bn — compounds alongside the marketplace. Our floor sits about 7% below a quarter the company has already banked, on a business still growing at that pace. Confidence 93%, not higher, because MercadoLibre reports in dollars while earning in Brazilian reais, Argentine pesos and Mexican pesos, so a sharp devaluation in any of them transmits directly to the reported figure. Scored on NET REVENUES AND FINANCIAL INCOME, the company's headline top line.

Dollar reporting on real, peso and Mexican-peso earnings — a sharp devaluation is the disclosed tail.
