Bull Case Backed by Analyst Consensus

Canaccord Genuity sustained its Buy stance on Globus Medical (NYSE:GMED) as of mid-December 2025, signaling continued confidence in the company’s trajectory. The analyst community projects an average one-year price target of $94.58 per share—representing meaningful 11.18% upside from the then-current price of $85.07. Price projections span a wide range, from $76.76 on the conservative end to $119.70 at the bullish extreme, reflecting differing outlooks on execution risks.

On the operational front, Globus Medical’s projected annual revenue stands at 1,280MM with non-GAAP EPS guidance of 3.01. The options market reinforces the constructive view, with a put/call ratio of 0.48 indicating traders favor upside scenarios over downside protection.

Institutional Positioning Tells a Mixed Story

The fund landscape around GMED reveals nuance worth examining. A total of 967 funds and institutions maintain positions, though this represents a net decrease of 28 holders compared to the prior quarter. Interestingly, while ownership count contracted, average portfolio allocation expanded—the median fund weight in GMED climbed to 0.30% from its previous level, a 9.44% increase. Total institutional share ownership rose modestly by 0.34% to 146,079K shares over the three-month period.

Major players display divergent strategies. Janus Henderson Group, holding 7,553K shares (6.78% ownership), trimmed its position by 8.66%, corresponding to a 67.95% reduction in portfolio weighting. JPMorgan Chase increased its share count by 9.27% to 3,682K shares but paradoxically reduced its portfolio allocation by 89.65%. Passive indices like IJH and VTSMX hold roughly 3.6MM shares each, with IJH posting a slight 0.76% reduction while VTSMX added a marginal 0.23%.

Active Accumulation Emerging

Sculptor Capital stands apart—the firm boosted its position by 21.12% to 3,500K shares and was one of the few to expand its portfolio allocation by 2.09% during the quarter. This divergence suggests selective conviction among sophisticated allocators about GMED’s near-term catalysts, even as the broader institutional base maintains a cautious trimming posture.
