0159 GMT - Jefferies views the departure of co-founder Richard White as WiseTech Global's board chair as a step in the right direction for corporate governance. Analyst Roger Samuel sounds comfortable with White's decision to continue as an executive director, pointing out that it isn't unusual for a major shareholder to have a board seat. Samuel tells clients in a note that he is comfortable with consensus expectation of US$744 million in fiscal 2027 Ebitda, even if the logistics-software developer reports fiscal 2026 Ebitda at the lower end of its guidance range. Maintaining a buy rating on the stock, Samuel says he still sees WiseTech as a high-quality company at a discount. Jefferies cuts its target price by 17% to 60.00 Australian dollars. Shares are up 0.1% at A$34.68. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
