Since the beginning of the year, the price has been lateralizing and cannot far exceed the range of US$1,000. Recently, a team of analysts from JP Morgan explained what is happening.
Specifically, the experts, led by Marcelo Santos, indicated that the risk of a stronger devaluation of the Argentine peso represents “a key obstacle that prevents the entry of marginal investors”, despite the fact that less than 25% of the net invoicing of the company came from Argentina during the first quarter of the year.
The analysis detailed that, considering the exchange gap between the official dollar ($260) and the cash with settlement ($505), a “potential devaluation” of almost 50% can be anticipated, which would represent a 7% hit on earnings per share of Mercado Libre.
However, the experts reaffirmed a target price for the ADR at US$1,700, a target price that incorporates devaluation risk. The share of Mercado Libre on Wall Street has been rising 26% so far this year and so far this month it has lost almost 10%.
