Foolish take
MayTech Global Investments has been holding shares of MercadoLibre since 2017, so I don’t think their recent small sale is anything for investors to worry about.
If anything, MayTech is somewhat a victim of its own success as MercadoLibre grew from 4.8% of the firm’s portfolio in early 2024 to 7% in the last quarter — partially due to the stock’s soaring price.
Most likely, this quarter’s sale was just a little bit of profit-taking or portfolio rebalancing to raise cash for other new investments.
From a Foolish perspective, I’d rather try not to “trim my flowers and water my weeds,” as The Motley Fool’s co-founder David Garner puts it.
Around 20% from its all-time high, I’d argue MercadoLibre makes for an interesting buy-the-dip candidate than a position to trim.
Quickly becoming a key cog within the burgeoning economies across Latin America, MercadoLibre’s leadership advantage and immense growth optionality make it a powerhouse of a stock.
Despite already being a 76-bagger since its initial public offering in 2007, MercadoLibre continues to grow sales by more than 35% annually over the last year, five years, and ten years.
Trading at 50 times forward earnings, MercadoLibre isn’t classically “cheap,” but it never really has been. Yet, its results speak for themselves, and the company’s growth story is still mid-book.
