WiseTech Global (ASX: WTC) has been a market darling of the technology sector. The company’s software logistics solutions serve a reported 44 of the top 50 logistics providers in the world. More than 17,000 customers use the company’s products in over 170 countries.

Although WiseTech managed to continue to grow revenues during the COVID-induced disruptions in global supply chains, net profit fell in FY 2021 before rebounding in FY 2022 and 2023, exceeding pre-COVID profits in both years.

FY 2023 financial results were strong, with revenues up 29%, statutory net profit after tax up 9%, and underlying net profit after tax up 30%. WiseTech began paying dividends in 2017, with 2023 dividend payments increasing 31%.

Revenue growth was driven by a 48% increase in the company’s flagship software solutions platform, CargoWise. WiseTech increased its penetration in the US market.

The downside was the company’s EBITDA guidance (earnings before interest taxes, depreciation and amortisation) coming in lower than the analyst consensus estimate.

The stock price plunged and is down 17.9% over the last three months.
