ICYMI: Latin America's E-Commerce Empire

MercadoLibre Inc. investors brushed off a second-quarter report that missed estimates for profit, betting on the Latin American e-commerce giant’s long-term strategy. The company’s earnings, released Monday evening, fell short of analyst estimates for net income, pressured by rising costs tied to an expansion of free-shipping policy in Brazil. Still, revenue growth remained strong and executives doubled down on their plans to keep expanding across the region. Martin de los Santos, MercadoLibre's CFO, breaks down the quarter and the outlook for the $120 billion powerhouse. Martin speaks with Carol Massar, Matt Miller and Nina Trentmann on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
