Morgan Stanley upgrades Global‑E Online to Overweight with $50 price target

Morgan Stanley raised its rating on Global‑E Online (GLBE) from Equalweight to Overweight and lifted the price target to $50. The upgrade cites mid‑teens same‑store‑sales growth and strong Q2 results, including $2.09 billion of GMV, $299 million of revenue and $62.4 million of adjusted EBITDA. Insiders have sold shares worth $996,678 in a recent filing and a total of $49.5 million over the past 12 months.

The higher rating and price target suggest Morgan Stanley expects continued revenue and profit expansion, which could support a rise in GLBE’s share price. Insider selling indicates some executives are reducing their stakes, a factor investors may monitor.
