Global-e Online price target lowered to $72 from $80 at Piper Sandler
On January 10, 2022, Piper Sandler analyst Brent Bracelin lowered the firm’s price target on Global-e Online to $72 from $80 and kept an Overweight rating on the shares. Cloud stocks have plunged by 26% since November 1 on a valuation reset sparked by a rotation, rising interest rates, supply-chain disruptions, and omicron, Bracelin tells investors in a research note. The analyst adds that the cloud correction “appears decoupled from demand fundamentals that remain robust,” adds the analyst. He notes that Piper’s CIO Survey showed 86%-88% are planning to invest more in cloud applications and infrastructure in 2022. Few technology sectors are this large at $290B, growing at 35% year-over-year, and cloud penetration is still low at 15%, says Bracelin. He recommends large-cap investors “move up the quality ladder and buy the highest quality growth stocks best poised to sustain high growth.”
Global-e Announces Closing of Acquisition of Flow Commerce and Expansion of its Leadership Team
On January 4, 2022, Global-e (NASDAQ: GLBE) announced the closing of its previously reported acquisition of Flow Commerce Inc. (“Flow”), a technology-based cross-border e-commerce software solution for emerging brands.
Leveraging Flow’s robust API-based technology, Global-e will be well-positioned to provide small merchants with a best-in-class solution tailored to emerging brands’ needs, with a lightweight integration effort and advanced self-service capabilities, in combination with Global-e’s unique data models and AI algorithms for conversion optimization. Furthermore, the acquisition is expected to allow Global-e to expand the scope of its exclusive relationship with Shopify to offer certain cross-border services to a broader set of merchants on the platform in addition to its current end-to-end 3rd-party solution catering to established brands.
“We are excited to welcome the Flow team into the Global-e family,” said Nir Debbi, President, and co-founder of Global-e. “This acquisition will allow us to serve small and emerging brands in the most sophisticated and lightweight way possible, by utilizing Flow’s cutting-edge technology coupled with Global-e’s best-in-class expertise and unique data models, positioning our platform as a leading cross-border solution for any size of merchant.”
The deal is valued at up to approximately $500 million (in equal portions of cash and Global-e shares), comprised of a base consideration of roughly $425 million and up to approximately $75 million in potential additional consideration based on specific financial results in 2021, plus approximately $45 million in Global-e shares for certain assumed, performance-based vesting warrants for Flow shares. Concurrently, Global-e issued Shopify a warrant for roughly $70 million in Global-e shares to expand the strategic partnership between the companies. Flow is expected to generate approximately $20 million in net revenues in the calendar year 2021.
Furthermore, Global-e announced today the following changes to its leadership team:
- Rob Keve, formerly Flow’s CEO, will join Global-e’s leadership team and will head Global-e’s newly formed SMB division.

- Adi Waiss will join the Global-e’s management team as its global EVP of Projects. Adi, a 5-year veteran of Global-e, will be transitioning from her previous role of VP Global Projects and Solutions.

I would also like to congratulate Adi for her promotion, and wish her great success in her new role, leading the company’s entire global projects organization. Finally, on behalf of the entire Global-e family, as Ira moves to a new chapter in her life, I would like to thank her for her dedicated service and great contribution to the success of Global-e, having led Global-e’s product organization since its inception.”
