Investors looking for an international growth stock to pepper their returns and diversify their portfolios had no problem flocking to Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) or MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) a few years ago. Baidu stock has shed a third of its value over the past year, as China's slowing economy and other factors have weighed on investor interest in the internet juggernaut. Analysts see a 6% decline in reported revenue, though there is always more than meets the eye with MercadoLibre, given the heady inflation and geopolitical events in key Latin American countries.
