What else has been moving the Zip share price this month?
Zip reported its third quarter results two weeks ago, on April 16.
Despite some solid metrics, investors were clearly expecting more, with the Zip share price closing down 10.9% on the day at $1.19 a share.
Highlights for the quarter included a 14.6% year on year increase in Zip’s total transaction volume (TTV), which reached $2.4 billion.
The company’s quarterly revenue came in at $219.2 million, up 26.6% from the prior corresponding quarter. This was spurred by a 0.80% increase in Zip’s revenue margin, which grew to 9.1%.
It was a particularly strong quarter for the company’s Americas business, where TTV grew by 43.6% year on year. Management credited the strong growth to increased customer engagement and a strong credit performance.
Commenting on the results at the time, Zip CEO and managing director Cynthia Scott said the “outstanding results reinforce that Zip is a simplified, stronger and sustainably profitable business.”
With today’s intraday moves factored in, the Zip share price remains up a whopping 143% over the past year.
