WiseTech's Reaffirmed Fiscal 2026 EBITDA Guidance Provides Confidence on EBITDA Margin Trajectory, Jefferies Says

By

-- WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) reaffirmed its fiscal 2026 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) guidance of AU$550 million to AU$585 million on a reported basis, providing confidence that it is on the right trajectory to return to an EBITDA margin of over 50% in fiscal 2028, Jefferies said in a note on Tuesday.

The firm also offered clarity around its one-off costs, separating restructuring costs of AU$37.5 million as well as mergers and acquisition expenses of AU$11 million to AU$15 million.

Amazon is opening its end-to-end logistics capabilities to external enterprise shippers, which could lead to a second-order impact for WiseTech. Traditional freight forwarders and logistics providers, its core customer base, may lose market share to Amazon, but it could also be a catalyst for them to modernize their information technology systems using CargoWise and E2open from WiseTech.

The investment firm retained its buy rating and price target of AU$72 on WiseTech.

WiseTech Global's shares shed about 2% in recent Wednesday trade.

Ora Banda Mining's Execution of Exploration Program Creates Strong Foundation for Self‐Funded Growth, Euroz Hartleys Says

Ora Banda Mining's (ASX:OBM) execution of its ambitious fiscal year 2026 exploration program established a solid foundation for self‐funded growth, Euroz Hartleys said in a May 5 note.The exploration program was underpinned by a budget of AU$73 million and roughly 330 kilometers of drilling, an investment that has already yielded a 57% boost in group resources to 3.3 million ounces with more near-term growth on the horizon, the equity research firm said.The company's Waihi gold prospect in Western Australia "is advancing rapidly from a small open pit to portal position for the next underground mine," Euroz Hartleys said.It added that the Riverina and Sand King underground mines are running at steady‐state and appear to be supporting long mine lives, with Sand King continuing to benefit from dual declines and a recent 25% uplift in mined ounces.Euroz Hartleys maintained a buy rating on Ora Banda and raised its price target to AU$1.92 per share from AU$1.88, saying the company "remains a compelling growth story leveraged to exploration success."
