KeyBanc has lowered its price target on Global-E Online Ltd (NASDAQ:GLBE) to $40 from $45, while keeping an Overweight rating on the stock. The bank said the new target still implies a meaningful upside relative to the then-current share price of $34.81 and sits within a broader set of bullish analyst targets ranging from $38 to $64.
In explaining the revision, KeyBanc pointed to the company's strong fourth-quarter showing, which included a 38% year-over-year increase in gross merchandise volume. The firm also highlighted that Global-E provided fiscal 2026 guidance that came in ahead of expectations, prompting KeyBanc to raise its 2026 estimates to reflect stronger-than-anticipated same-store sales trends.
Global-E’s recent results extend a notable revenue growth trajectory. The company recorded 31.57% revenue growth over the last twelve months, taking trailing revenue to $888.45 million. KeyBanc further cited several positives emerging from the earnings call, including momentum in the company’s Duty Drawback service, favorable same-store sales trends, new platform launches and foreign exchange tailwinds.
Despite these operational tailwinds and a forecast that KeyBanc says points to another year of high-20s percentage top-line growth, the analyst trimmed the price target to reflect current market conditions. InvestingPro data referenced by market participants indicates the stock is presently priced below its Fair Value assessment.
Other brokerages reacted to Global-E’s quarterly results with a variety of target and rating moves. BofA Securities increased its price target to $52 and maintained a Buy rating. Needham kept a Buy rating and held a $47 price target. Raymond James reduced its target from $50 to $45 while continuing to rate the stock as Outperform. Citizens reiterated a Market Outperform rating with a $64 price target, pointing to the company’s defensive moats such as global scale and strategic partnerships that Citizens said help shield it from potential AI-driven disruptions.
Global-E’s fourth-quarter report overall beat analyst expectations, showing robust revenue growth and materially improved profitability. The company’s gross merchandise volume accelerated, a development attributable to new customer acquisitions and increased same-store sales, according to the results commentary. Those dynamics were central to several firms adjusting their forecasts and targets.
The marketplace reaction has been mixed in target adjustments but broadly positive in tone, with multiple analysts maintaining Buy or Outperform-equivalent ratings while revising price targets up or down. The collective response underscores that while operational performance has strengthened, broader market conditions figured into KeyBanc’s decision to lower its target.
Investors assessing the company will weigh the demonstrated revenue and GMV acceleration against the influence of market dynamics on valuation. Analyst actions following the earnings release reflect both the strength in the underlying business metrics and differing perspectives on how those metrics should translate into near-term price targets under current market conditions.
