WiseTech Global Ltd shares have jumped higher on Tuesday.

ASX tech shares are up around 5% and trading at $33.31 apiece.

The increase is a welcome reprieve for investors after the stock fell 23% over the past month, off the back of its FY26 results. The company posted earnings in line with analyst expectations, but its EBITDA came in short of market forecasts.

Despite today's increase, WiseTech shares are still down around 51% for the year to date.

For context, the S&P/ASX 200 Index is up, around 0.2% for the year to date, but around 1% lower than 12 months ago.

WiseTech has a strong competitive edge.

WiseTech's CargoWise platform is embedded in the global logistics industry. If global trade volumes keep expanding and supply chains become more digital, WiseTech could become a dominant software provider in the logistics industry.

WiseTech reported that it has raised its annual earnings and flagged growth for FY27 in line with analysts' expectations. Last month, the company reported a 46% increase in EBITDA to US$558.4 million for the 12 months through to the 30th of June.

According to Market Index data, all brokers have a strong buy rating on WiseTech shares.

ASIC and the AFP also searched WiseTech Global's headquarters in late October 2025.
