MercadoLibre stock ticks up after-hours as fresh SEC filing shows $238 mln fund stake — what to watch next (MELI)

New York, Jan 21, 2026, 19:19 EST — After-hours

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.

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.

Shares tied to Latin America also saw gains. Nu Holdings climbed roughly 1.8%, StoneCo added about 2.6%, and Amazon remained mostly flat.

Form 13F reports provide a backward-looking view of U.S.-listed equity holdings by major money managers, usually submitted weeks after each quarter closes. They don’t reflect the investor’s most recent moves.

MercadoLibre operates an online marketplace and the Mercado Pago payments platform, plus logistics and various other services supporting its commerce and fintech ecosystem.

MELI has shown some volatility this week, dropping 1.9% on Tuesday before rebounding 1.1% on Wednesday, according to daily closing prices.

After-hours shifts often flip as soon as the market reopens. For MercadoLibre, key challenges remain consumer demand, currency volatility, and credit performance in its various markets.

The next milestones are coming up fast. MercadoLibre will hold a fireside chat with Fernando Yunes on Jan. 27 at the UBS Latin America conference in São Paulo. The company also set Feb. 24 as a tentative date to release its fourth-quarter results.
