Growing initiatives to strengthen the fintech business are expected to boost total payment volumes in the reporting quarter. In the quarter to be reported, MELI is expected to benefit from the strengthening of online payment and online wallet merchant services.

The expansion of MELI’s offerings from online to offline is likely to be reflected in the following results.

MercadoLibre’s strong momentum in market and non-market businesses is expected to be reflected in its third-quarter results.

Heavy investment in MercadoLibre’s logistics business is expected to have boosted the delivery system’s performance in the reported quarter. In addition, the expansion of the managed logistics network is expected to impact the business results in the third quarter.
