Latam structural compounder. Marketplace GMV growing ~25-30% FX-neutral; fintech TPV growing ~35-45% FX-neutral; credit book ~$6B+ and scaling. Three-flywheel model (commerce attracts users → wallet captures payments → credit monetizes data) means each segment lowers CAC for the others.
Operating margin expanding as Envios reaches scale and fintech mix shifts from acquiring (low-margin) toward credit (high-margin).
