Here is what Polen Capital specifically said about Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) in its Q2 2022 investor letter:

“Globant S.A. (NYSE:GLOB) is a leading IT consulting company based in Argentina. In particular, Globant’s expertise comes in helping companies digitally transform utilizing artificial intelligence, AR/VR, and blockchain. It has leveraged this expertise, and success with notable clients like Google and Disney, into faster than market growth. In the current environment, where businesses everywhere need help digitally transforming, Globant is seeing very strong demand for its services. The stock price reaction this quarter was related to broad market weakness on concerns around a slowdown in IT spend amidst global recession. In our view, while there’s always the possibility of a moderation in demand in the short term, the secular tailwinds from digital transformation make it likely that strong demand should persist for years to come, supporting strong earnings growth over the long term.”
