Wise Share Price Makes a Major Comeback as Interest Rates Rise

Wise share price surged to the highest level since January 19 of this year after the company published strong guidance. The stock rose to a high of 700p, which was about 145% above the lowest level this year, making it one of the best-performing companies in the UK.

Wise defies gravity

Wise, formerly known as Transferwise, has become one of the best-performing fintech companies in the past few weeks. The firm’s performance has happened in a tough period for UK companies as the British pound has collapsed to the lowest level on record.

On Thursday, the company said that it expects that its total income will rise to between 55% and 60% in 2023. It attributed that to the actions by the Bank of England (BoE), which has decided to hike interest rates several times this year. Analysts expect that the bank will hike rates by about 150 basis points this year. Wise makes a lot of money in interest income. 

The firm now anticipates that its first-half revenue will increase to between 394 million pounds to 396 million pounds. This will be a 54% increase from the same period in 2022.

The statement came a few months after the company published strong results. It has over 7 million active customers and processed over 76 billion pounds in volume in the first half of the year. Its total volume has had a compounded annual growth rate of 35%.
