In 2025, major investing stories included the sell-off and rebound post-Trump’s tariff announcement, the AI boom, and notable stock splits like Netflix and O’Reilly Automotive. Analysts suggest potential stock splits in 2026, with MercadoLibre and Meta Platforms as top contenders for such moves.

MercadoLibre, a Latin American e-commerce and fintech leader, has never split its stock since its 2007 IPO despite significant share price growth. With markets exceeding 500 million people and a GDP of $5.5 trillion, the company sees vast growth opportunities in e-commerce and financial services in Latin America.

Meta Platforms, known for its family of apps like Facebook and Instagram, attracts billions of daily users, making it a top choice for advertisers. The company, with smart glasses sales surging, is also investing heavily in AI superintelligence technology.

Analysts predict potential stock splits for MercadoLibre and Meta Platforms in 2026, which could drive investor interest. Even without splits, both companies are expected to be winners next year due to their strong growth potential and market positions.
