JPMorgan keeps an Overweight rating on Wise, which signals that, in its view, the shares still offer upside potential relative to its coverage universe, even after recent valuation adjustments.

The upgrade from Cantor Fitzgerald points to increased confidence in Wise’s execution and growth prospects, suggesting the broker sees the current share price as attractive versus its long term opportunity.

JPMorgan’s cut in its price target to £12.25 from £13.85 highlights more conservative expectations on Wise’s valuation, with the reduced target bringing its view closer to the wider Street.

The trimming of the fair value price target to £11.62, alongside JPMorgan’s revision, shows that at least some analysts are factoring in a less generous outlook for Wise’s future growth and execution than before.
