In December 2023, it acquired a Brazil-based consultancy firm – Iteris Holding Ltda. – to drive digital transformation projects for clients and solidify its foothold in the country’s market. Earlier, it acquired Pentalog, a company that develops tech solutions for enterprises with significant digital exposure in key areas of finance, sports, gaming, travel and education, among others. Through this acquisition, Globant expanded its presence in France, with further plans to capture the Netherlands and DACH markets.With the acquisition of ExperienceIT, Globant has expanded its business in the healthcare sector by setting up its first office in Minneapolis, MN, which is considered to have the best opportunities for healthcare, life sciences and advanced manufacturing in North America. It also acquired a New York-based creative consultancy business – Vertic. The buyout has aided Globant to enhance its global digital marketing network and commence operations in Denmark to serve companies based in the Nordic countries. GLOB’s revenues in the last reported quarter soared 18.1% year over year to $587.5 million, driven by solid momentum across most of the business segments. Management highlighted massive growth of 130% in AI-related sales in the first half of 2024. The improvement in top-line expansion is likely to boost the stock’s trajectory. For the year ended June 30, 2024, GLOB catered to 958 customers. It exited the last quarter with 29,112 headcounts, marking an increase of 12.2% year over year. For the third quarter, the company projects revenues in the band of $611-$617 million, or 12.1% to 13.2% year-over-year growth. For full-year 2024, management expects revenues within $2,407-$2,421 million, suggesting 14.8-15.5% year-over-year growth.\nGLOB’s Zacks Rank & Stock Price Movement\nAt present, GLOB carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
