Brazil-based Investidor Profissional Gestao de Recursos initiated an $11.34 million position in MercadoLibre by purchasing 5,881 shares in Q1 2026, despite the stock declining 37% over the past year. The fund's investment appears to be a contrarian bet that the selloff reflects investor impatience rather than business deterioration, as MercadoLibre continues strong growth with 49% revenue increase and 50% payment volume surge, while intentionally sacrificing margins to expand market share across Latin America's e-commerce and fintech sectors.

Despite record-high stock indexes, three growth stocks trading significantly below their all-time highs present potential buying opportunities. MercadoLibre faces margin pressures and loan defaults but maintains strong 49% revenue growth. Chewy has recovered operationally with 125% operating income surge despite being down 80% from peaks. Shopify's rapid 34% revenue growth and 88% operating income increase are overshadowed by AI-related concerns, though its ecosystem moat remains defensible.

3 Growth Stocks Down 20% to Buy Right Now

U.S. equities reached fresh record highs on Friday, with the Nasdaq 100 jumping 1.6% above 29,000 and the S&P 500 climbing 0.8% to near 7,400. A strong April jobs report (115,000 jobs added) and a semiconductor rally led gains, with Micron Technology surging 13.5% for its best week since 2008. However, mixed earnings results saw software stocks stumble, with Cloudflare and HubSpot falling over 20% on weak guidance.

MercadoLibre stock tumbled 11% after reporting Q1 2026 earnings that beat on sales ($8.8B vs $8.3B forecast) but missed on earnings ($8.23 per share vs $9.37 forecast). The company prioritized growth investments and free shipping in markets like Brazil, causing operating income to decline 20% year-over-year. However, free cash flow surged to $1.8B (from $759M), and the stock now trades at a 7.1x price-to-free cash flow ratio, suggesting potential value despite near-term profit concerns.
