On cue, Buy Now Pay Later stocks and porous payment fintechs continue to disappoint after a brief respite earlier this week.

Tyro Payments (ASX:TYR) was mauled by JP Morgan this morning after analysts lopped some 57% off the target share price and reckon life for TYR minus the outgoing (and soon to leave for Star Entertainment) CEO Rob Cooke is going to be a real squeeze.

In the same bucket: EML Payments (ASX:EML) has given back every penny of Wednesday’s circa 11% surge after scoring a big contract to make prepaid cards for the Spanish postal service.

RBC cut EML Payments from Outperform to Sector Perform (in line with everyone else in the sector over 12 months) but has held the target at $1.80.

Finally, UBS brokers took the sword to ZIP Co (ASX:ZIP) today as well.
