Zip Bulls Have No Concerns About Margin Guidance -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Dec 18, 2025

0250 GMT - Zip's bulls at Macquarie believe that the Australian buy-now-pay-later provider can keep its net transaction margin in line with FY 2026 guidance despite elevated loss rates. The investment bank's analysts tell clients in a note that losses are rising due to the pace of total transaction value growth, but that they still see a net transaction margin within the 3.8%-4.2% guidance range. While new customers have higher loss rates than existing users, they observe that structure of Zip's products--which include an eight-instalment offering--allows Zip to quickly remove customers that don't miss payments. Macquarie keeps an outperform rating and A$4.85 target price on the stock, which is up 0.9% at A$2.965. (stuart.condie@wsj.com)
