On August 7, Sezzle Inc fell 24.94% in pre-market trading, trading at $134.0/share, with turnover of $158,800.
On the news front, the company released Q2 financial results showing adjusted EPS of $1.17 beating the consensus estimate of $1.03, while revenue of $149.7 million exceeded the expected $135.1 million. The company also raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance from $5.10 to $5.25, above analyst expectations of $5.12.
However, Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.17 represented a sequential decline of over 20% from Q1's $1.47, signaling a notable contraction in profitability on a quarter-over-quarter basis. Following the Q1 earnings release, the stock had surged approximately 20%, significantly elevating market expectations. Despite the year-over-year beat, the deceleration in growth momentum and sequential earnings weakness prompted investors to lock in profits, resulting in significant selling pressure.
