Globant 2025 Q2 Earnings Sharp Net Loss Amid Revenue Growth

Globant reported mixed Q2 2025 results, posting a revenue increase but swinging to a net loss. While the firm met expectations on the top line with a 4.5% year-over-year revenue rise, it missed on the bottom line with a significant drop in earnings per share and net income.

Revenue
Globant posted total revenue of $614.18 million in Q2 2025, marking a 4.5% increase from $587.46 million in the same period the previous year. The growth, though modest, reflects continued demand for the company’s digital transformation services, particularly in AI-driven solutions.

Earnings/Net Income
The company swung to a loss of $0.05 per share in Q2 2025, down sharply from a profit of $0.89 per share in the year-ago quarter, representing a 105.6% negative change. Globant also reported a net loss of $3.72 million, a 109.3% deterioration from the net income of $40.02 million in the prior year. This marks a significant departure from its previously consistent profitability, which had been sustained for 12 consecutive years in the corresponding quarter. The earnings decline highlights the challenges of maintaining margins amid strategic investments and workforce adjustments.

Price Action
Globant’s stock edged down 0.75% on the latest trading day, gained 0.23% over the previous week, but fell 5.27% month-to-date, reflecting investor uncertainty around the earnings results and forward guidance.

Post-Earnings Price Action Review
A strategy of buying Globant shares following a revenue increase in quarterly reports and holding for 30 days has underperformed significantly over the past three years, with a return of -63.17% and a -110.47% underperformance relative to the benchmark. The negative Sharpe ratio of -0.62 suggests high risk with minimal reward, while the maximum drawdown of 0% indicates the strategy avoided losses but failed to generate gains. Investors appear hesitant to act on post-earnings momentum despite the company’s long-term AI focus.

CEO Commentary
CEO Martin Migoya highlighted a $614.2 million revenue figure for Q2 2025, a 4.5% year-over-year increase, and a $3.7 billion pipeline, up 25%. He emphasized the company’s AI innovation, including the AI Pods subscription model, which has secured 18 clients. Strategic partnerships with OpenAI and AWS, along with organizational efficiency measures like a 3% workforce reduction and office consolidation, are supporting long-term growth. Despite macroeconomic headwinds, Migoya remains optimistic about AI-driven enterprise transformation and expressed confidence in the team’s ability to capitalize on future trends.

Guidance
Globant expects Q3 2025 revenue of at least $615 million, implying 0.1% year-over-year growth with 50 basis points of FX tailwinds. For full-year 2025, the company forecasts revenue of at least $2.445 billion, reflecting 1.2% year-over-year growth. Non-IFRS adjusted operating margin is projected to remain at least 15%, with diluted EPS of at least $6.12. The tax rate is expected to range between 20% and 22%. The guidance reflects cautious optimism, emphasizing margin stability and FX-driven revenue growth amid ongoing cost discipline.
