Hi, sleep-well investors,
Thank you for your heartfelt encouragement over the last few weeks 🙏. My daughter is still fixed on the hospital bed, but she is smiling more every day, and we are two weeks away from the next phase - rehabilitation. Lots of joy awaits.
In this post, I bring you the 16th candidate for the Sleep Well Portfolio - Mercado Libre (MELI).
Since its IPO in 2007, it has grown
revenue at 43% CAGR
free cash flow per share at 45% CAGR, and
the stock has risen by 33% CAGR.
Impressively, it can still triple in size in the medium term, and shares are available at the cheapest level in the past 10 years!
