What this transaction means for investors
Investors certainly should not panic about Shahar’s recent sale of Global-e Online stock. It was a relatively minor transaction, and the stock’s underlying operations remain stronger than ever, which is the much more important factor with any of these insider trades.
Global-e continues to be buoyed by the converging megatrends of e-commerce growth and cross-border transactions, as the company solves for a nearly endless list of complexities that make international selling a major pain for brands. While AI may be a long-term threat to certain portions of Global-e’s business, the company’s all-encompassing platform for global sellers isn’t likely to be easily replaceable as a whole.
Global-e acts as the Merchant of Record, handles many physical shipping terms, and also offers local payment options that AI can’t necessarily handle yet. Furthermore, the company has data from all its past transactions, which it has already used to solve innumerable issues that an AI system would struggle with without a frame of reference.
Global-e Online remains a top-tier buy in my books, and it is one of my core holdings. Trading at 33 times forward earnings, but growing sales by 33% in its last quarter -- alongside steadily improving margins -- GLBE stock remains a promising long-term buy.
