MercadoLibre thrived in 2020 as online purchases surged. Net income for the entire year is likely to reach $76 million after reporting losses in 2019.
Its shares doubled, pushing the company's market capitalization to approximately $82 billion. To accelerate deliveries, the company even resorted to hiring eight cargo carriers in Brazil and Mexico.
