2. Zip Co Ltd – Up 5%

Zip Co once again seems to be riding the coattails of the new Tencent investment in its rival Afterpay Ltd. (ASX:APT). So far this week Zip Co shares have risen a staggering 27%.

Zip Co provides customers with a revolving line of credit to finance their retail purchase with its brands of Zip Pay, Zip Money and Pocketbook. It is one of the largest buy now, pay later providers in Australia. Some of its largest clients include Bunnings Warehouse, Appliances Online, EB Games and Officeworks.

Another smaller rival to Zip Co and Afterpay, Sezzle Inc. (ASX:SZL) saw its share price rocket higher today. This buy now pay later provider was last seen trading at $2.07, some 13.7% higher than where it began the day.

Is it time to invest in these companies? I’m not completely convinced. I’d prefer to invest in these technology stocks…
