What Globant does

Globant is a publicly traded digital technology services company founded in 2003, incorporated in Luxembourg and listed on the NYSE under ticker GLOB, headquartered in Buenos Aires with operational presence across 35 countries on five continents and approximately 29,000 employees. The company delivers AI-powered digital transformation, consulting, and software engineering services to enterprise clients across eight vertical studios — Financial Services, Sports & Entertainment, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Retail, Airlines, Gaming, Automotive, and Energy — serving customers that include Formula 1, FIFA, Google, HSBC, Santander, Intuit, Nissan, Coca-Cola, Electronic Arts, Johnson & Johnson, Rockwell Automation, and the US Men's National Soccer Team, among others.

The company's core technology is centered on AI Pods, an AI-native delivery model that combines autonomous agents executing end-to-end with domain expert validation, generating $32.8 million in annualized recurring revenue with a $352 million pipeline and deployed in 40% of the top 20 client accounts. Surrounding platforms include the Globant Enterprise AI Platform, industry-specific AI Studios, the Sportian Performance sports analytics platform processing over 6,400 metrics per match for LaLiga's 42 clubs and 50+ competitions, the Formula 1 Team Content Delivery System that reduced latency from 12 to under 5 seconds, and the Synthetic Operator product for AI-driven live-stream monitoring. The company has aggressively expanded through acquisitions since 2020, including Iteris (Brazil), GUT (creative), GeneXus (low-code), Walmeric, Blankfactor (financial services), Sysdata (Italy), Pentalog (Europe), ExperienceIT, Vertic, HABITANT, and others.

Globant generates revenue primarily through professional services for digital transformation, AI implementation, and software engineering, complemented by subscription-based AI Pods services and technology licensing via acquired platforms such as GeneXus. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account teams and industry-specific studios, supplemented by hyperscaler co-selling arrangements with OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Google, and NVIDIA. The company reported Q1 2026 revenue of $607.1 million (a 0.7% year-over-year decline) with full-year FY2026 guidance of $2.462–$2.508 billion, and has recently executed a 2% workforce reduction and $47.6 million restructuring charge tied to Latin American operational failures, alongside multiple class action lawsuits alleging materially misleading disclosures.
