Morningstar | WiseTech's Share Price Not Justified by Underlying Earnings Growth

WiseTech Global has grown quickly in recent years, with revenue increasing at a CAGR of 34% between fiscal 2013 and 2018. We expect strong growth to continue and forecast a revenue CAGR of 15% over the next decade, underpinned by the global rollout of WiseTech’s cloud-based logistics software platform at large third-party logistics clients such as DHL. The narrow economic moat, which is based on switching costs, and strong annual client retention rate of around 99% should protect earnings from competition as the business grows. We expect revenue growth and the scalable business model to drive margin expansion, and we forecast an improvement in the EBIT margin from 26% in fiscal 2018 to 31% by fiscal 2028. However, we expect ongoing investment in capitalised research and development to cause weak cash conversion for the foreseeable future.
