0142 GMT - WiseTech Global's 1H earnings beat leaves its bull at Morgan Stanley mulling an attractive risk/reward profile amid the logistics-software provider's cost drive. Analyst Andrew McLeod tells clients in a note that the Australian company's December-half result allayed some market fears over earnings growth and free cash flow. He calls the 30% reduction in staff in favor of artificial intelligence "a surprise positive", and flags company commentary that the integration of its US$2.1 billion E2Open acquisition is ahead of schedule. With a new pricing model helping address broader market concerns over the sustainability of SaaS revenues, McLeod maintains an overweight rating on the stock. Its target price falls 23% to A$100.00. Shares are down 1.6% at A$48.23. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
