MercadoLibre stock rose late Tuesday after the Latin America-focused e-commerce company reported fourth-quarter results that beat revenue expectations but were short of earnings forecast. The Uruguay-based MercadoLibre said that it earned $11.03 per share for the December-ended quarter, down 12% from a year earlier and below the $11.50 per share that analysts polled by FactSet were forecasting. In a letter to investors announcing the results, MercadoLibre said a 13% decline in net income was due to "normalization of our tax rate versus unusually low levels" in the fourth quarter of 2024.
