Price Target:
$39.00
▲(13.70% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:02/19/26
The score is driven primarily by strong financial quality (low leverage, robust and high-quality free cash flow, and a 2025 profitability inflection) and a very constructive earnings-call outlook with >30% growth guidance and margin expansion. Offsetting these positives are a weak-to-mixed technical picture and a stretched valuation (high P/E with no dividend), which increases sensitivity to execution and macro/tariff-related uncertainty.
Positive Factors
Strong free cash flow generation
Sustained, high-quality free cash flow provides durable optionality: funds buybacks, product investment, or cushioning versus shocks. FCF tracking net income (~0.99) signals earnings quality and lowers refinancing risk, improving financial flexibility over coming quarters.
High customer retention and stable take rate
Strong net-dollar retention and high gross retention indicate expanding revenue per customer and low churn, underpinning recurring transaction fees. A stable service take rate supports predictable margin contribution and long-term unit economics as GMV scales.
Product momentum and strategic partnerships
New offerings and platform integrations broaden addressable market and deepen merchant relationships, improving stickiness. Strategic ties (Shopify integration, duty-drawback capability) and borderfree channel diversify revenue streams and support sustained GMV growth.
Negative Factors
Prior multi-year losses and profitability volatility
The company’s track record includes several loss-making years, so recent profitability may be cyclical. Execution missteps, investment pacing, or adverse mix could erode margins again, making multi-quarter profit durability and forecasting more uncertain over the medium term.
Regulatory/tariff and de minimis risks to cross-border flows
Structural regulatory changes can permanently alter cross-border economics, increasing costs to consumers or merchants and reducing take rates or GMV. Such policy shifts create ongoing execution and demand risk for a cross-border platform over multiple quarters.
Reliance on FX tailwinds and one-time working-capital boosts
Performance supported by transient FX benefits and episodic working-capital timing raises sustainability concerns. If FX normalizes or one-off cash items reverse, near-term revenue and FCF could decelerate versus guidance, increasing earnings and cash volatility risk.

Global-e Online Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 18, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:May 19, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call emphasized numerous strong operational and financial results: record GMV, accelerating revenue growth, margin expansion, record free cash flow, GAAP profitability, strong customer retention, and clear product momentum (Managed Markets v2, duty drawback, AI initiatives). Management reiterated multiyear targets and provided ambitious 2026 guidance (GMV, revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth with margin expansion). Key near-term risks include short-term pressure from tariff and de minimis changes, some dependence on FX and elevated same-store sales that are assumed to normalize, a slightly lower fulfillment take rate, and portions of cash flow that were influenced by one-time working capital benefits. Overall, positives materially outweigh the noted near-term uncertainties and execution/timing risks.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Record GMV and Strong Quarterly Growth
Q4 2025 GMV of $2.36B (the strongest quarter ever) with GMV growth accelerating to ~37–38% year-over-year; full-year 2025 GMV of ~$6.57B, up 35% year-over-year. Achieved first-ever $1B GMV month in November 2025.
Revenue Acceleration and Milestone >$1B
Q4 2025 revenue of $337M, up 28% year-over-year; full-year 2025 revenue of $962M, up 28% year-over-year. 2026 guidance targets revenue of $1.21B–$1.27B (midpoint ~29% growth) — the first year expected above $1B in revenue.
Margin Expansion and Profitability
Q4 2025 non-GAAP gross profit margin of 46.8% (up ~80 bps YoY). Q4 adjusted EBITDA of $87.2M, up 53% YoY, representing a 25.9% margin (up ~420 bps YoY). Full-year 2025 adjusted EBITDA $198.5M, up 41% YoY with a 20.6% margin. Company was GAAP profitable for full-year 2025 with GAAP EPS of $0.39.
Very Strong Cash Generation and Capital Returns
Full-year 2025 free cash flow of $280.7M (up 68% YoY) and operating cash flow accelerated to $216M in Q4 (vs. $129M year-ago). Year-end cash and equivalents of $623M. Completed $72M in share repurchases in Q4 (1.8M shares) with $128M capacity remaining.
Healthy Customer Retention and Take Rates
Annual net dollar retention (NDR) of 122% and gross dollar retention (GDR) of 96%. Service-fee take rate remained stable at ~6.82% in Q4; service fee revenue of $160.9M (up 37% YoY).
Product & Commercial Momentum (Managed Markets, Duty Drawback, borderfree.com)
Launched Shopify Managed Markets v2 integrated into Shopify Payments and seeing initial traction; received permit to offer import duty drawback to eligible U.S.-based merchants; borderfree.com channel now accounts for >6% of merchant sales for merchants using it. Management expects managed markets adoption to pick up over 2026.
AI-Driven Efficiency and Sales Acceleration
Management attributes material operational leverage to AI: ~70 bps reduction in R&D spend as a percentage of revenue in 2025, plans to scale 2026 R&D activity without material headcount increases, AI-based internal sales/prospecting agents increasing demos and pipeline, and LLM tools for classification, localization and customer service automation.
Broad Merchant Wins & Geographic Expansion
Numerous notable merchant launches and expansions in Q4 across North America, Europe and APAC (examples include Stella McCartney, Sandro/Maje/Claudie Pierlot, Logitech integration with TikTok Shop, Prusa, Nadine Merabi, and others), supporting multi-geography growth.
Negative Updates
Short-Term Pressure from Tariff Changes and de minimis Removals
Global tariff changes (notably U.S. tariff moves and upcoming EU de minimis removal) created short-term pressure on trading volumes, especially into the U.S.; management expects these dynamics to boost midterm pipeline but they represent near-term headwinds and continued uncertainty.
Fulfillment Take Rate Compression
Fulfillment take rate was slightly lower than expected in Q4 (reported at ~7.44%), driven by higher-than-expected average order value and mix shifts (multi-local growth), which reduces revenue per unit of GMV from fulfillment.
Reliance on FX Tailwinds and Elevated Same-Store Sales
A portion of Q4 and early Q1 strength was driven by FX tailwinds and unusually strong same-store sales; guidance assumes FX tailwinds will subside and same-store sales will normalize in the remainder of 2026, which creates downside risk if those drivers reverse unexpectedly.
One-Time Working Capital Benefit in Cash Flow
Q4 and full-year operating/free cash flow were aided by a one-time favorable working capital dynamic related to a few sizable merchants, implying some portion of the cash performance may not be repeatable.
Managed Markets Early-Stage & Cautious Near-Term Impact
Managed Markets v2 is early in rollout and management expects contribution to be modest/dragging on growth in the first months of 2026 with upside later in the year — introduces execution timing risk to near-term growth.
New Offerings and AI Benefits Partly Backloaded
While AI and new services (e.g., duty drawback, localization) are expected to drive margin expansion and revenue, many benefits remain early-stage or contingent on scale and adoption; management baked in conservatism for adoption timing in 2026 guidance.
Company Guidance
Global-E guided to continued strong growth in 2026, forecasting Q1 GMV of $1.705–$1.745 billion (≈38.8% y/y at the midpoint), Q1 revenue of $247–$254 million (≈32% y/y at the midpoint) and Q1 adjusted EBITDA of $46.5–$49.5 million (≈19.2% margin at the midpoint); for the full year they expect GMV of $8.45–$8.80 billion (≈>31% y/y at the midpoint), revenue of $1.21–$1.27 billion (≈29% y/y at the midpoint, the first year >$1 billion), and adjusted EBITDA of $259–$284 million (≈37% growth at the midpoint) implying a ~21.9% adjusted EBITDA margin, with management expecting margin expansion, to remain GAAP-profitable and to finish above the Rule of 50.

Global-e Online Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Strong balance sheet with very low leverage and a large equity base, plus excellent cash generation (2025 FCF $280.7M, up 45.2% YoY, closely matching net income). Profitability improved meaningfully with a return to GAAP net income in 2025, but the prior multi-year loss history and slowing recent revenue growth keep this below top-tier.
Income Statement
72
Positive
Revenue scaled meaningfully over the period, reaching $962.2M in 2025 (+8.3% YoY), though growth has decelerated from earlier years. Profitability improved sharply: after sizable losses in 2022–2024, the company returned to solid profitability in 2025 with positive operating profit and $68.3M net income (~7.1% net margin). Gross margin has been relatively steady in the mid-40% range recently, but the history of losses and uneven operating performance keeps the score below top-tier.
Balance Sheet
88
Very Positive
The balance sheet is conservatively structured with very low leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.045 in 2025) and a large equity base ($932.7M) supporting $1.46B of assets. Returns on equity recovered to ~7.3% in 2025 after negative returns in 2021–2024, indicating improving efficiency but not yet consistently strong across cycles. Overall financial risk from debt appears limited, with the main watch item being the recent history of profitability volatility rather than leverage.
Cash Flow
92
Very Positive
Cash generation is a clear strength: 2025 operating cash flow was $283.8M and free cash flow was $280.7M, with free cash flow growth of +45.2% YoY. Free cash flow closely tracks reported earnings (free cash flow to net income ~0.99 in 2025), suggesting good earnings quality. The company has also produced positive free cash flow even during loss-making years, though operating cash flow relative to revenue has been moderate, implying some working-capital or cash timing variability.
