Mercadolibre Plummets 6.85% on $2.64 Billion Volume as 35th-Busiest Stock Amid Sector Turbulence

On October 1, 2025, Mercadolibre (MELI) closed at a 6.85% decline with a trading volume of $2.64 billion, ranking 35th in market activity. The stock’s performance followed a mixed earnings report and strategic adjustments that drew mixed investor sentiment. Analysts noted the drop reflected broader e-commerce sector volatility amid shifting consumer behavior and regulatory scrutiny in key Latin American markets.

Recent developments highlighted Mercadolibre’s efforts to streamline its logistics network and expand digital payment solutions, though these initiatives were met with skepticism over execution timelines. A lack of clarity on cost-cutting measures and competitive pressures from regional rivals contributed to short-term uncertainty. The sell-off aligned with broader concerns about macroeconomic headwinds impacting online retail growth trajectories.

To run this back-test precisely I need to confirm a couple of implementation details that weren’t specified: 1. Stock universe • Do you want to screen the entire U.S. equity universe (all common stocks listed on NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or a subset such as the S&P 500 or Russell 3000? 2. Trade execution convention • Signal generation: should the “top-500-by-volume” list be based on the same day’s close (then trades are executed at next day’s open), or do you prefer same-day execution at the closing price? • Exit: is the position closed at the next day’s close (i.e., an overnight hold), or at the next day’s open? 3. Position sizing • Equal-weighted across the 500 names each day (default), or volume-weighted / dollar-volume-weighted? 4. Transaction costs & slippage • Should I apply any per-trade cost assumption (e.g., 2 bps each side) or ignore them? If you’re happy with the typical quantitative defaults (full U.S. universe, rank on previous close, execute next open, exit next close, equal-weight, zero costs), just let me know and I’ll proceed with the back-test.
