Wise Plc's stock price saw a significant increase, its largest in over seven months, after the money-transfer firm announced upbeat earnings guidance and confirmed its intention to move its primary stock market listing to the United States in the first half of 2026. The fintech company reported third-quarter underlying income of £424.4 million, surpassing analyst expectations, with continued customer growth fueling these results.
Looking ahead, Wise is targeting a profit-before-tax margin between 13% and 16% in the medium term, expecting to be at the upper end of this range for the current financial year. The company is actively seeking to increase its profile in the US, having applied for a directly regulated bank status. This move is expected to facilitate partnerships with over 4,000 banks across the country.
