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

Wise PLC reported strong fourth-quarter growth, with cross-border volumes up 26% year on year to £49.4 billion and active customers rising 22% to 11.3 million, while customer holdings in Wise accounts climbed 37% to £29.4 billion. Underlying income grew 24% in the quarter to £435.3 million and 18% for fiscal 2026, supported by higher adoption of account features and expanding Wise Business volumes, even as the cross-border take rate edged down to 0.51% reflecting continued price investment.

The group reiterated that it expects its fiscal 2026 underlying pre-tax margin to be towards the top of its 13% to 16% target range and confirmed its results will be reported in U.S. dollars under U.S. GAAP to align with a planned primary U.S. listing. Wise said it remains on track to complete a dual listing this quarter, with an expected Nasdaq debut on 11 May 2026, a move intended to boost its visibility and capital access in the United States, its largest growth market, and underpin its ambitions to become the dominant global network for moving money.

Spark’s Take on WISE Stock

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

The score is led by very strong financial performance (growth, profitability, balance-sheet strength, and cash flow), supported by a generally positive earnings call focused on customer and volume momentum. Offsetting factors are a relatively high valuation (P/E ~25.7 with no dividend) and mixed technical signals with negative MACD and an elevated RSI.
