What this transaction means for investors

In buying MercadoLibre stock, TenCore Partners may be taking a bit of a contrarian position in the top e-commerce company.

The Latin American conglomerate has a history of turning Latin America’s economic and political challenges into assets. It formed both its fintech arm Mercado Pago and the logistics business Mercado Envios to address some of the challenges that come with operating in its home region.

Unfortunately, the stock’s performance suffered over the last year as competition from competitors like Amazon, Sea Limited, and others weighed on its performance. The company has also experienced an alarming increase in non-performing loans.

Although revenue grew by 37% from year-ago levels in the first nine months of 2025, the rising expenses reduced its profit increase to just 13% for the same period. That likely explains the flat stock performance of the stock over the last year.

However, improving economic conditions in Argentina and Venezuela could turn into a lifeline for its e-commerce business. Also, Mercado Pago has instituted loan limits and AI-driven evaluation of borrowers to reduce bad loan expenses. Thus, as the company addresses these challenges, TenCore’s increased investment in MercadoLibre could pay off for the fund.
