Trading above fair value
How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.
In-depth Analysis How we analyze
Valuation Analysis: MELI is currently trading at $2147.22, which is considered fair relative to its 30-day fair value range of $2039.55 to $2205.11. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 36.0) is in line with its historical norms (34.6). At these levels, the market is pricing in 1.4% annual earnings growth. This growth rate appears achievable given the company's track record, suggesting the valuation is rational.
Technical Outlook: Technically, MELI is in a downtrend. Immediate support is located at $2028.21, while resistance sits at $2342.00.
Market Sentiment: MELI has a strong technical setup (75/100), with favorable trendlines, momentum, and price action for short-term traders. In the options market, Implied Volatility is low (12th percentile), suggesting options premiums are relatively cheap. This makes it an attractive time for long options strategies if you have a directional bias. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $2817.00 (+31.2%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
