Investment Highlights
Why It Matters
Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?
1. Generates cash flow
The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.
2. Riding a trend
Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved
Qualitative Assessment
AI Generated Analysis | Feedback
Here are five key points explaining the approximate 43.2% movement in Globus Medical (GMED) stock from its post-merger lows to mid-2024, in line with the most recent information available:
1. Successful Completion of NuVasive Merger
The definitive all-stock merger with NuVasive was completed on September 1, 2023, creating a larger and more diversified global musculoskeletal company. This strategic combination was intended to leverage complementary product portfolios, expand commercial reach, and enhance operational capabilities, positioning the combined entity for long-term growth.
2. Strong Post-Merger Financial Performance
Following the merger, Globus Medical reported robust financial results. In the fourth quarter of 2023, worldwide net sales saw a significant as-reported increase of 124.6% over the prior year, primarily attributed to the NuVasive merger. This strong revenue growth, alongside an increase in non-GAAP net income by 38.9% in Q4 2023, demonstrated the early financial benefits of the integration.
