Company Report

Wise: Interest Income Continues to Boost Performance

Wise reported a fourth-quarter trading update, showing continued good momentum from higher interest income as well as active customer growth (up 29%). For its full fiscal year of 2024, which concluded at the end of March, Wise flagged that its income growth came in at 46% versus the previously guided 42%-44% and our 48% estimate. It also highlighted that adjusted EBITDA margins remain elevated relative to its long-term guidance of at or above 20%. We forecast Wise to retain adjusted EBITDA margins above 26% over the next decade, but the market appears to be even more optimistic than us. We leave our GBX 560 per share fair value estimate unchanged. Shares look expensive.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Greater use of digital currency conversion is increasing Wise’s addressable market over time.
