WiseTech Bull Sees Cost Control Driving FY27 Earnings Growth

Dow Jones
Aug 26

0039 GMT - WiseTech Global's bull at RBC thinks the logistics-software provider's fiscal 2027 guidance suggests that operating costs will be lower than analysts expect. Analyst Jackson Lee sounds unimpressed by WiseTech's fiscal 2026 performance, pointing to soft revenue growth at its core CargoWise business. However, he is more positive on what he says is strong cost control. Lee tells clients in a note that this drove a 7% underlying earnings beat relative to consensus. With the midpoint of WiseTech's revenue guidance falling about 3% short of expectations, Lee reckons that the company expects operating-cost growth of no more than 1%. Consensus had been for an 8% rise, he adds. RBC has a last-published outperform rating on the stock and a target price of 64.00 Australian dollars. Shares are down 7.8% at A$41.98.
