Globant shares jumped after the company logged strong results in
the second quarter and provided optimistic guidance for the back
half of the year.
The stock is up 11% at $180.66 in early trading. Shares are up
year-to-date but still down 21% over the past 12 months.
The Buenos Aires-based information technology provider said it
expects revenue to grow about 19% to at least $545 million in the
third quarter, higher than analyst forecasts for $533.9 million,
according to FactSet.
For the full year, Globant is targeting adjusted earnings of
$5.72 a share on $2.09 billion in revenue, above previous analyst
projections for adjusted earnings of $5.71 a share on $2.07 billion
in revenue.
The guidance came after Globant posted second-quarter earnings
of $36.9 million, or 85 cents a share, compared with $37.2 million,
or 87 cents a share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Adjusted earnings, which strip out one-time items, were $1.36 a
share, a penny above the consensus of analysts polled by
FactSet.
Quarterly revenue was up almost 16% at $497.5 million, about $1
million above the market consensus.
