WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) shares are pushing higher again on Monday.

At the time of writing, the WiseTech share price is up 3.12% to $43.65.

The rally has gathered plenty of pace over the past month, with the logistics software stock now up almost 40% during that period.

It is also around 52% above its 23 June low of $28.76. That's a very different picture from late June, when the shares were trading at their lowest level in 5 years.

However, shareholders are still sitting on a sizeable loss in 2026, with WiseTech shares down 36% since the beginning of the year.

So, has the share price finally left its lows behind?

A big rebound from June

WiseTech shares have spent much of the past year heading in the wrong direction.

The stock has fallen from a 52-week high of $115.75 and remains more than 60% below where it was this time last year.

A mix of governance concerns, regulatory issues, and weaker investor sentiment towards tech stocks has weighed heavily on the shares.

But the mood has changed since late June.

There have been some positive developments as well. Major customer DSV remains committed under its existing contract until September 2028. Bell Potter has also pointed to the appointment of an independent chair as a positive step towards addressing governance concerns.

WiseTech has continued to invest in its business as well, including the acquisition of US-based FRDM.ai in July.

All eyes on Wednesday's result

The next major test comes on 26 August, when WiseTech is due to release its FY26 results.

Management has reaffirmed revenue guidance of US$1.39 billion to US$1.44 billion, representing growth of 79% to 85%.

EBITDA is expected to come in between US$550 million and US$585 million, up 44% to 53% from FY25.

The company has also reached its US$50 million annualised cost synergy target from the e2open acquisition ahead of schedule.

With the share price already rebounding strongly, investors will likely want to see WiseTech deliver within those ranges and provide a solid outlook for FY27.

Is the bottom behind WiseTech shares?

The recovery from $28.76 is definitely encouraging, but one month of strong gains doesn't erase the risks that pushed the stock lower.

WiseTech still faces regulatory and governance questions, while the shares remain well below their previous highs.

At the same time, the underlying business continues to grow quickly.

Wednesday's result could give investors a better idea of whether this rebound can keep going.
