Zip Co Limited

Um, but yeah, PC gamers being the enterprising problem-solvers they are, have already discussed several workarounds.

Luca77GoatIC posted a tip on Reddit saying that Zip, a buy now, pay later service, works if you use Zip Pay, as that essentially works like a credit card.

Oh, okay.

Uh, that's good.

Right.

Finally, we're going to Zip.

Yep.

Uh, this is a tricky company.

Mm.

So I was talking before about Brambles, where you had a bit of a range there, um, and the fact that it was near the top end of that range was a good sign.

With Zip, it's the opposite.

So it's, it's hang- it's still hanging around, you know, 230, 240.

Yeah.

So [laughs] the first few investments was Zip, who was a buy now, pay later company.

Yep.

Um, I also had a little bit in, like, Qantas.

Let's turn to the second half.

We're gonna take a look at Mineral Resources, Star Entertainment, 2S, Zip, and Sims.

Let's begin with Mineral Resources.

Andrew had his go, uh, picked Data3.

Okay.

Sell, avoid from Andrew.

Let's turn to Zip, next stock, and, uh, Grant asking about this one.

Record earnings, uh, in fact, uh, beating every major target there, uh, has of course been through its own issues.

Just, just in terms of, uh, what do you call it? Uh, these types of companies, these buy now, pay later companies.

I was speaking to a small cap fund man- fund manager a few weeks ago, and they are red hot on Zip, simply on the explosion in, uh, these sorts of companies and financing in the US.

They reckon that, that Zip will see 40% increase on T- uh, TTV.

So, yeah.

Um, I've since-- Hang on.

Elsewhere, Aurizon announced a $250 million share buyback.

We also are looking at Zip securing $300 million in lower cost US funding through its asset-based securitization.

AUB was a, a front runner as well, forecasting underlying profit growth of up to 18%, and SkyCity Entertainment there rejecting two takeover approaches as too low.

It's instead going to pursue asset sales in a strategic review of its Adelaide casino.
