Sydney, Jan 10, 2026, 17:40 AEDT — Market closed
Zip Co shares finished the week higher, closing at A$3.56 on Friday, up 4.1% from the prior close. 1
The move followed a bigger jump a day earlier, when the stock rose 7.2% even as no fresh company news surfaced in the session commentary. 2
Why it matters now: the buy-now, pay-later lender is heading into its half-year results, due on Feb. 19, a scheduled update that has become the next hard date for investors in the name. 3
On Friday, Zip traded between A$3.425 and A$3.62, with about 18.0 million shares changing hands, according to Yahoo Finance data. 4
Zip’s investor site shows its most recent ASX announcement was a “change in substantial holding” filed on Jan. 2. 5
In its October quarterly update, Zip reported record cash EBTDA — earnings before tax, depreciation and amortisation — of A$62.8 million and said it had lifted its on-market buyback to A$100 million. “Zip continues to deliver sustainable, profitable growth at scale,” CEO Cynthia Scott said. 6
The company has also leaned harder on the United States for growth. Last year, Zip said it was weighing a secondary U.S. listing as it pointed to stronger earnings and a stepped-up U.S. outlook. 7
Still, the downside case sits close. BNPL — “buy now, pay later” — firms face tighter rules as regulators push them toward credit-style checks, a shift that can squeeze volumes at the margin and raise compliance costs. 8
