Redbubble Ltd (ASX: RBL)
The first ASX growth share to look at is Redbubble. This ecommerce company's shares have come under significant pressure this month following the release of its third quarter update.
For the three months ended 31 March, Redbubble reported a 54% increase in gross transaction value to $134 million. However, from this, it only generated EBITDA of $2.2 million. This compares to its first half EBITDA of $48.8 million, which averages out at $24.4 million per quarter.
Management advised that it is sacrificing margins in order to invest in its growth. An investment that it hopes will lead to gross transaction value of $1.5 billion by 2024 with an EBITDA margin of 10% to 15%. This compares to gross transaction value of $620 million and an EBITDA margin of 9% in 2020.
In response to the update, RBC Capital held firm with its buy rating but cut its price target to $5.60. This compares to the latest Redbubble share price of $4.08.
Zip Co Ltd (ASX: Z1P)
Another ASX growth share to consider is Zip. Thanks to the increasing popularity of the buy now pay later (BNPL) payment method with consumers and retailers across the world, Zip has been growing at a rapid rate in recent years.
This has continued in FY 2021, with Zip recently releasing its third quarter update. That update revealed an 80% increase in group quarterly revenue to $114.4 million. This was driven by a 195% increase in transaction numbers to 12.4 million, a 114% jump in quarterly transaction volume to $1.6 billion, and an 88% lift in active customers globally to 6.4 million.
The key driver of its growth was its Quadpay business in the United States. Pleasingly, with a $5 trillion market opportunity in the country, this side of the business still has a significant runway for growth over the next decade and beyond.
One broker that was pleased with its update was Citi. In response, the broker upgraded its shares to a buy rating with an $11.30 price target. This compares to the latest Zip share price of $8.90.
