Why Costco and MercadoLibre Win the 10-Year Bet

Two resilient growth stories, one North American retail giant and one Latin American fintech powerhouse, that deserve a spot in your portfolio for the next decade.

Costco’s membership model keeps customers returning and revenues climbing steadily, making it rare in today’s fickle retail world. Their plan to open 30+ new stores yearly adds a tangible growth angle often missing in old brick-and-mortar names. For South African investors, Costco’s strong performance reminds us to focus on companies with real consumer loyalty and expansion plans. MercadoLibre, while not JSE-listed, impacts our view through the USD/ZAR lens. Its 50% revenue jump in a tough Latin American market reflects how fintech and e-commerce combined can dominate emerging economies. That’s a powerful sign for currency plays against the rand, especially given local fintech and digital retail trends. These picks highlight growth anchored in real cash flow and market traction, not hype. The risk: a global recession or inflation shock hitting consumer demand hard could scramble these plans. But their fundamentals give these two a ten-year runway few peers will match. this is just our opinion and not financial advice
