Wise PLC Plans Dual Listing to Broaden Global Investor Base

Wise PLC (LSE:WISE) has unveiled plans for a corporate restructuring that would see the creation of Wise Holdco as a new parent company, alongside a proposed dual listing on a U.S. stock exchange in addition to its existing London listing. The move aims to improve the company’s visibility and access to capital, particularly in the strategically important U.S. market.

Although the proposal has drawn some pushback from a shareholder, Wise’s Board maintains strong support from the broader shareholder base and views the reorganization as a step aligned with the company’s long-term mission. The proposal features a dual-class share structure with a 10-year sunset clause, mirroring governance practices commonly found in the U.S. tech sector.

Wise continues to report solid financial performance and sustained growth, backed by robust operational metrics and strategic momentum. While technical indicators suggest potential short-term fluctuations, the company remains in a strong position, albeit with a moderate valuation and no current dividend offering.
