Justification

Is anyone else seeing a decent margin of safety for Wisetech after recent share price drops? Currently $86 at 7/10.

My calculated fair value came to $110, with bear case around mid $80’s, base around $110, and bull around $130.

This was with fairly conservative assumptions around integration risks of e2open and relatively new management team.

@Stumpy yes, my valuation from Feb this year is $103 ($92 - $123), and I last topped up some at $99, or thereabouts.

If we assume 20% annual growth, then allowing for the passage of time, a simple aupdate today would be more like $113 ($101 - $135), which compares with consensus average of $122 12m price target.

I'm definitely seeing value now, however, there are a few factors on my radar screen which make me think about not increasing my position size:

  • maturing Cargowise sales, with uncertainty how that evolves with the new commercial model
  • delayed Container Optimisation launch, with the product remaining in a limited release / trial mode
  • integration of E2Open - itself a product set that struggled to achieve organic growth


So, even though I am holding an underweight postion size (RL 6%) compared with what I've normally held over the last 9 years, I think I've settled for the "do nothing" option, and just let time do its thing. Should we get the next growth assets correction of -10% to -20%, then that would be the opportunity to load up, and I'll be at the front of the quene WHEN that happens.

Disc: Held in RL only. I don't hold WTC in SM

I believe Macquarie and a few other brokers have it on earnings downgrade watch as well which might be weighing on the share price.

Ok I see, was wondering why it is steadily dropping on not much company news. I also topped up around the high 90’s, so might gradually average in if it continues this trend. It comes down to whether they can continue past track record of optimising margins and successful integrations. Evidence of success = decent re-rate to upper end of price range, vice versa if things get bumpy.
