Shares of MercadoLibre (MELI.O) climbed roughly 1% to $2,057.77 in after-hours trading Wednesday, following an intraday range between $2,023.03 and $2,093. About 943,000 shares changed hands.
A quarterly filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission revealed that Sydney-based Northcape Capital Pty Ltd owned 116,848 shares of MercadoLibre, valued at roughly $238.4 million at the close of 2025. (SEC)
The filing hit amid investors seeking a clearer sense of risk appetite following two days dominated by tariff news. Wall Street bounced back Wednesday after U.S. President Donald Trump said he wouldn’t slap tariffs over the Greenland dispute. “What is the economic impact is whether we all start imposing tariffs on each other,” said Jason Pride, chief of investment strategy and research at Glenmede.
