The investment firm’s bullish stance comes despite MercadoLibre, Inc. (NASDAQ:MELI)’s 20% decline following changes to its free-shipping policy. The fall in share prices reflects market skepticism over potential margin pressure from both the free-shipping policy and higher spending on the platform, UBS noted.

(NASDAQ:MELI)’s fintech arm that supports robust performance. The stock’s underperformance already incorporates consensus expectations of a nearly 160-basis-point quarter-over-quarter margin decline, UBS further noted.
