The latest update is out from Wise PLC Class A ( (GB:WISE) ).

Wise plc has reported a series of equity-related transactions by senior executives under its share-based incentive schemes, involving the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) and subsequent sales of shares. On 15 January 2026, Chief Technology Officer Harsh Sinha, Chief Legal Officer Jessica Winter and Chief Marketing Officer Cian Weeresinghe each saw RSUs vest into Class A ordinary shares at no cost, and each then disposed of a portion of those shares on the London Stock Exchange at around £8.14892 per share to cover associated tax and social security liabilities. The disclosures, made in line with UK Market Abuse Regulation requirements, highlight ongoing use of equity incentives at Wise while indicating that the executives’ share disposals are tax-driven rather than broader strategic selldowns, a detail likely to reassure investors monitoring insider dealing activity.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:WISE) stock is a Buy with a £1240.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Wise PLC Class A stock, see the GB:WISE Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on GB:WISE Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:WISE is a Outperform.

Wise PLC’s strong financial performance and strategic growth initiatives are key strengths, contributing positively to the overall score. However, bearish technical indicators and pricing pressures from the earnings call temper the outlook. The moderate valuation suggests some room for growth, but high operational costs remain a concern.
