Wise will adopt a direct listing method which has been regarded as a much more profitable way of listing on the stock market as it saves underwriting fees and mispricing of available stock.
The company selected this method to go live which was made popular by Spotify three years ago when the company took this route to list itself on the stock exchange. Wise’s decision has become a marker for other companies to follow and also will be a big challenge for the company to seek possible value estimations.
