The Zip Co Ltd (ASX: Z1P) share price closed down 1.5% on Thursday, finishing the day at $6.65.

That came as the broader S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) ended in the green, up 0.6%.

It's been just over 3 weeks now since the buy now, pay later (BNPL) company reported its full year results for the 2021 financial year (FY21).

With investors now having had plenty of time to digest those results, we take a look below at how the Zip share price has performed since reporting.

Cash gross profits also surged, up 147% year-on-year to $198 million. And the company's active merchants more than doubled, up 109% to 51,300 merchants.

Zip has not historically paid a dividend and did not declare one for FY21.

Commenting on the continuing rise of BNPL methods among consumers, Zip CEO Larry Diamond said:

The trend and shift away from the unfriendly world of credit cards that was the genesis of the Australian business has proven to be a global phenomenon, and Zip continues to accelerate in all our key markets.
