[LEARN MORE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION]
On December 18, Hindenburg Research LLC published a report titled “Sezzle: A Failing ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ Platform Playing Short Term Tricks As Insiders Cash Out Via Stock Sales And Margin Loans.” The report alleges that Sezzle relies on a high-interest line of credit to fund risky loans for borrowers with poor credit who cannot access traditional financing options like credit cards. Hindenburg also highlights a significant decline in Sezzle’s active merchant partnerships and a 20% drop in its customer base since 2021, raising serious doubts about the Company’s long-term growth prospects. Furthermore, the report points to insider activity as evidence of potential issues, noting that insiders sold $71 million worth of stock this year, including a major early investor who reduced their stake by 87%.
On this news, the price of Sezzle shares declined by $73.01 per share, or approximately 23.2%, from $315.18 per share on December 17, 2024, to close at $242.17 per share on December 18, 2024.
