MercadoLibre Inc's stock rose by 5.00% as it crossed above the 5-day SMA, reflecting positive momentum in the market. The surge is attributed to the company's impressive Q3 earnings report, which revealed a 49% year-over-year revenue growth, driven by strong performance in the Latin American e-commerce sector and a significant increase in customer acquisition. This robust growth, alongside an optimistic outlook for 2026, has bolstered investor confidence and positioned MercadoLibre as a leader in the region's digital economy.
