The Latin American economy stumbled in 2023, but World Bank economists expect growth to accelerate in 2024 and 2025 as inflation moderates and interest rates fall. That should be a catalyst to business and consumer spending across the region, and few companies are better positioned to benefit than MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI). Another favorable tailwind is also taking shape.

Rising interest rates also compressed their valuations and drove investors toward more conservative stocks. However, a lot of chip stocks stayed strong through that slowdown as investors focused on their cyclical recoveries.
