The acquisition adds ~$100M in high-growth revenue and expands Global-e's logistics moat into asset-light multi-carrier and non-MoR segments. With the deal closing in ~5 weeks, watch for regulatory clearance and any integration risk disclosures. The earnout structure aligns incentives — Passport's CEO staying on reduces execution risk. Monitor Q3 2026 earnings for initial EBITDA contribution and GMV acceleration from the combined platform.
