Wise Shares: US Listing Expected to Be Positive in the Long-Term

Wise (LON: WISE) shares are expected to benefit in the long term from the company's decision to move its primary listing to the United States, according to analysts at Berenberg.

In a recent note, the firm maintained a Buy rating on the London-listed fintech name and raised its price target slightly to 1,270p from 1,240p. 

The firm noted that while the shift to a US exchange might create some “short-term pressure on the shares,” inclusion in a US index could prove beneficial.

Wise released its FY 2025 results on June 5, with its reported and cash profits ahead of consensus expectations. The company also reiterated its guidance for both FY 2026 and the medium term.

The broker highlighted Wise’s “exceptional” operational performance and made minor upgrades to its forecasts for volume and underlying profit before tax.

Elsewhere this week, Jefferies also reiterated a Buy rating on Wise shares, although it lowered its price target to 1,231p from 1,247p. 

The bank remains positive on the company, citing the long-term potential of the Wise Platform and an improving customer growth trajectory supported by competitive pricing.

Wise will retain a secondary listing in London following the move. The company has said the decision is aimed at aligning with its global customer base and increasing access to a broader pool of investors.
