Mercado Ads (advertising)
Advertising is one of the fastest-growing lines inside Commerce.
What it is
Sponsored listings, display placements and promotions that sellers and brands buy on the marketplace. It is high-margin revenue that sits on top of the traffic the marketplace already has.
Why it matters to the stock. Ad revenue is the main lever for lifting Commerce margins without adding shipping or credit costs. Investors watch its growth rate against GMV growth.
