We'll quickly unpack today's results and then wrap things back up for tomorrow:
Those that reported on the ASX today
WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC)

A blockbuster result pushed the share price to an all-time high of $57.31 before entering a trading halt following an ASX price query. After resuming trade, the share price lost its momentum to settle the day up 26% to $45.60.
The takeaway points:
- Total revenue up 18% (or 24% in constant currency) to $507.5 million
- CargoWise revenue increased 26% to $331.6 million
