Polen Global Growth Strategy made the following comment about Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:
"We also added a small new position in Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB), a cloud-native information technology (IT) company specializing in digital and cognitive technology. We have been following this business for years and believe it is trading for a fair price at roughly 27x EPS. One of its main points of differentiation is being a digitally native IT services firm that helps enterprises with their digital transformations. Globant specializes in AI, software development, cybersecurity, and blockchain. As long owners of Accenture, we understand the power of being a trusted provider of these services. Globant benefits from having no legacy businesses in secular decline. Their entire enterprise is serving what Accenture calls “The New.” Globant describes its relationships with clients as a “digital journey” and positions itself as a true partner, not a onetime project consultant. Globant has worked with its largest client, Disney, for more than a decade. The business exceeds all our investment guardrails and participates in one of the largest total addressable markets. We expect Globant to deliver 20%+ EPS growth in the coming years."
