拉丁美洲电商巨头MercadoLibre(MELI)周二盘中重挫,股价大跌逾17%。此前公布的2024年第三季度财报显示,该公司当季净利润较上年同期大幅下滑34%,远低于市场预期水平,成为引发股价暴跌的主要原因。
根据最新公布的财报数据,MercadoLibre第三季度净利润为3.97亿美元,与分析师预期的5.42亿美元相去甚远。尽管公司实现收入53亿美元,同比增长35%,符合预期,但利润大跌的主因在于公司加大了投资力度。
MercadoLibre管理层解释称,公司目前正大力扩展信用卡业务和电商物流能力,为此投入了大量资金。首席财务官马丁·德洛斯桑托斯承认,此前市场低估了信用卡业务的投资规模。该公司看好这些领域的发展前景,但短期内资金投入拖累了利润表现。
