Friday - UBS analysts have revised their price target on Global-E Online Ltd (NASDAQ:GLBE) to $64.00, down from the previous $68.00, while maintaining a Buy rating on the company’s stock. The adjustment follows the release of Global-E’s 2025 gross merchandise value (GMV) guidance, which, although robust at a 34% year-over-year increase at the high end, introduced concerns due to the forecasted take rate being lower than the prior consensus by approximately 40-50 basis points. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has experienced a significant 25.8% decline over the past week, with analysts maintaining a consensus target range of $55-68, suggesting potential upside from current levels. InvestingPro’s technical analysis indicates the stock is currently in oversold territory.
The lower take rate guidance is attributed to the anticipated impact of tariffs, which also raised fears of a potential further effect on both GMV and take rate. Despite these concerns, the high end of the revenue guidance aligns with current market expectations. UBS suggests that the market’s willingness to assign a higher valuation multiple to Global-E was contingent on the company’s sustained growth trajectory and consistent execution, especially after dispelling doubts about its capacity to meet its growth targets for the second half of 2024. InvestingPro data reveals the company has maintained strong revenue growth of 32.08% over the last twelve months, with analysts forecasting continued sales growth this year. The company’s solid financial position is evidenced by its current ratio of 2.08, indicating ample liquidity to meet short-term obligations.
Global-E, a company specializing in cross-border e-commerce solutions, had previously quelled market skepticism by delivering on its heavily second-half-weighted growth outlook for 2024. This was highlighted in UBS’s recap of the company’s third-quarter performance in 2024. The company’s strong execution is reflected in its impressive 31.5% price return over the past six months, as tracked by InvestingPro, which offers comprehensive analysis through its Pro Research Report, available for over 1,400 US stocks.
The revised price target reflects a more cautious outlook, factoring in the possible challenges posed by tariffs on the company’s financial performance. Despite this, the maintained Buy rating indicates that UBS analysts still see potential in Global-E’s business model and market position.
The company’s stock performance and investor sentiment in the coming months will likely be influenced by its ability to manage the tariff impacts and maintain its growth momentum as projected in its 2025 GMV guidance.
In other recent news, Global-E Online Ltd reported strong financial results for the fourth quarter of 2024, with revenue increasing by 42% year-over-year to $263 million, and achieving its first quarter of GAAP profitability. Despite these positive results, the company’s stock saw a decline following the announcement due to future guidance falling short of consensus expectations. Analysts from Benchmark, Citizens JMP, Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James, and Needham have weighed in on Global-E’s performance, with various price target adjustments. Benchmark reduced its target to $64, maintaining a Buy rating, while Citizens JMP reaffirmed a $64 target with a Market Outperform rating. Raymond James increased its target to $60, and Needham also raised its target to $64, both maintaining positive outlooks on the stock.
The company’s guidance for 2025 projects a 25% revenue growth, with expectations to achieve a $1 billion annual run rate in the latter half of the year. Analysts have noted Global-E’s strategic position in the cross-border e-commerce market and its continued investment in artificial intelligence to enhance service offerings. Despite the cautious growth forecast, analysts like those from Citizens JMP remain optimistic about the company’s long-term potential, citing its dominant market position and expanding merchant base. Global-E’s recent partnerships, such as with Logitech (NASDAQ:LOGI), further highlight its strategic expansion into consumer electronics.
