SEZL has an impressive earnings surprise history. In the four trailing quarters, it surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate, with an average surprise of 66.7%.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is pegged at $132.2 million, hinting at a 26% rise from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Sezzle pivoted its marketing focus toward subscription-based products like Sezzle Premium and Sezzle Anywhere. Top-line growth is likely attributable to these subscribers, who have a higher lifetime value than on-demand users due to their formal commitment to the platform.
We expect the company to have witnessed heightened consumer engagement. As of December 2025, the monthly app sessions gained 51% year over year, with a purchase frequency of 6.6X per quarter. It indicates that the company holds potential to become a daily utility.
The company has been leveraging AI as a force multiplier to boost output and scale while optimizing support costs. Our expectations lie within Sezzle’s ability to utilize this technology to enhance the consumer ecosystem, which is likely to have translated into generating higher revenues.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is $1.24, suggesting a 24% year-over-year rally.
