The Zip Co Ltd (ASX:ZIP) share price has risen 424.2% since the start of 2024. Also in 2024, the Pro Medicus Limited (ASX:PME) share price is 0.1% away from its 52-week high. This article explains why it could be worth popping ZIP and PME shares on your watchlist.

ZIP share price in focus

Zip Co is a ‘fintech’ company founded in 2013. It offers a buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) service that is popular among retail consumers.

Zip’s platform allows customers to purchase items immediately and repay them over several interest-free instalments.

Like most BNPL companies, Zip makes money through transaction fees paid by the business, as well as late fees charged to customers who miss payments.

Zip Co Ltd is a growth stock, and so it requires a different set of rules and may not be straightforward to value at times. Studies have shown that over 5-10+ years, it’s top-line revenue growth which explains a stock’s performance. That’s why it’s good to see Zip Co Ltd is able to grow revenue at 75.7% per year, a strong clip.

PME shares

Pro Medicus is an established provider of radiology software for hospitals, imaging centres and health care groups worldwide.

The Pro Medicus suite of products centre around radiology information systems (RIS), Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS), and advanced visualisation solutions. These products support everything from patient scheduling and billing to fast medical imaging interpretations and analysis, making the company relevant at every stage of the radiology process.

The company’s flagship product is their Visage software, which allows radiologists to view large image files generated by X-rays remotely on mobile devices. This wasn’t previously possible, but it now allows diagnostic decisions to be made on-the-go with the aim of improving patient outcomes.
