WiseTech Global workforce and market volatility

Overview

WiseTech Global has undergone significant structural and financial shifts. The company initially announced plans to cut approximately 2,000 jobs—roughly 30% of its workforce—to implement an artificial intelligence-driven productivity strategy. CEO Zubin Appoo noted that AI integration has allowed smaller, AI-equipped teams to deliver projects faster, contributing $34 million in savings. During this period, the company reported a 76% to 79% surge in annual revenue to $US1.4 billion, supported by the acquisition of E2open.

Following these developments, WiseTech Global’s stock experienced a significant decline, falling more than 60% from its 52-week high. This downturn is part of a broader decline in ASX technology stocks, such as Xero Ltd, driven by rising bond yields. In addition to market pressures, WiseTech faces projected single-digit revenue growth for FY27 and an ongoing investigation by the ACCC.
