Sezzle’s Q3 Expectations
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the top line is set at $103.9 million, increasing 48.6% from the year-ago quarter’s actual.
Multiple factors are likely to have boosted the top line. Firstly, we expect On-Demand to have displayed strong acceptance, driving revenues. We are also bullish on the ongoing synergies from the company’s partnership with WebBank, and anticipate the same to have provided additional support to the top line.
On the product front, new app improvements and features, including Pay-in-5, Browser Extension and Sezzle Balance, are likely to have attracted more customers, increasing its revenues.
The consensus estimate for earnings per share is 65 cents, hinting at a year-over-year 32.7% growth. Healthy margins and cost discipline are expected to have been tailwinds to the bottom line.
