The acquisition strengthens Global-E's logistics capabilities and expands its addressable market into non-MoR segments, with Passport's revenue growth expected to slightly exceed Global-E's own. The $350M consideration (~3.5x expected 2026 revenue) is reasonable for a high-growth logistics platform. Monitor for closing in early July and any integration updates. The stock-funded portion (~$175M in shares) represents modest dilution (~3% of $5.5B market cap).
