Question asked

Zip

Zip shares have been travelling up for a while now. There was an article published on being a partner with apple. It was not confirmed. But the share price keeps going up with a crazy amount of shares changing hands. If it was correct would it be buy the rumour sell the fact scenario. What price would it be a sell at.

Answer

Hi Wayne,

ZIP has been on a tear of late although its well below its ~$14 levels when irrational exuberance ruled the space. In August this buy now, pay later (BNPL) provider forecast that its transactions in the US would rise by over 30% in FY25 as it signs up more payment providers, making it increasingly easy for US retailers to accept it – growth in the US is key for ZIP.

Zip chief executive Cynthia Scott has said that Apple is a potential partner allowing BNPL services through the iPhone which would be huge for ZIP hence the 1000’s of call options exchanging hands as traders bet on a positive outcome.

  • Its hard to know how far ZIP will rally on a deal with Apple but 25-50% would not surprise.

We own ZIP in our Emerging Companies Portfolio and are not considering taking profit at this juncture. The momentum for now is strong.
