Current crowd narrative
The crowd views Wise as a cool European consumer remittance app facing margin pressure because management stubbornly insists on cutting fees. They think the story is 'mature' because growth slowed from 50% to 25%. Legacy analysts on the LSE treat it like a dividend-paying bank rather than a tech infrastructure platform. The consensus is fixated on the optical drop in percentage margins, totally missing the absolute cash generation and the US expansion narrative.
