SEC Filings & Insider Trading Activity 2026

Risk Factors

• • Mexican antitrust authority (CNAE) closed 2025 probe into Mercado Libre's Buy Box algorithms and logistics integration — no penalties imposed but future reviews signaled

• • Rapidly expanding Asian e-commerce platforms gained significant Latin American market share in 2025 via direct-from-manufacturer supply chains and low-price strategies
