After Z1P shares reached a high of over $14 a share in February 2021, the stock has largely been on a downward spiral given the volatility in the bond yields and the shift from growth to value stock over fears of inflation. Since the past couple of weeks however, the markets have largely been estimating inflation to be transitory and bond yields as a result have been declining consistently – resulting in the resurgence of growths stocks and Z1P shares have been a direct benefactor of this thematic that is playing out not just here in Australia, but globally.
Zip shares have now been in a bullish run close to a month. Today, Z1P shares continued their surge, adding 6.44% as shares closed at $8.60 a share. The 1-Week performance of Z1P shares has now gone up to 18.62%.
In addition to the changing macro-economic outlook markets seem to be portraying, Z1P’s expansion into Europe and the Middle East adds significant tailwinds as Z1P will now be one of the few companies that are operating across all major BNPL markets. Thus, with substantial tailwinds and the share price still way off its $14.53 high posted in February this year, Z1P shares look extremely desirable.
