  • WiseTech Global Shares Drop 16% in May Amid Job Cuts and Integration Costs
    May 31, 2026, 5:42 PM EDT. WiseTech Global Ltd shares fell about 16% in May, extending a 47% year-to-date decline. The plunge followed an announcement of 2,000 job cuts linked to a two-year AI-driven restructuring, sparking union and legal challenges. Its Q3 FY2026 update revealed US$45-50 million integration costs from the E2open acquisition, squeezing profit margins and causing analysts to cut earnings forecasts to A$0.72 per share. Despite negativity, WiseTech's CargoWise platform remains resilient, used by top global freight forwarders with high customer switching costs. Brokers are divided but optimistic. UBS rates the stock a buy, projecting strong sales and EBITDA growth through FY2028. Bell Potter sees potential for a 150% share price rise, citing WiseTech's competitive moat and platform strength.
