% of holdings sold = shares sold ÷ (shares sold + all holdings the insider reported on that Form 4, direct and through trusts).
Insider type follows Cohen, Malloy & Pomorski (Journal of Finance, 2012). An insider who traded the stock in the same calendar month in each of the past three years is a routine trader; one who traded in each of those years without such a pattern is an opportunistic trader. In their study, trades by opportunistic insiders predicted future returns and trades by routine insiders did not. Counts open-market purchases and sales only (SEC Form 4 codes P and S) by that insider in that company. Not investment advice.
Insider purchases (SEC Form 4, open-market, last ~7 months) (SEZL)
2 purchases, $44K. Private placements, offerings, dividend reinvestment and employee stock purchase plan buys are excluded.

From Sezzle Inc.'s Latest SEC 10-K Filing (filed 2026-02-26)
Key Strengths & Strategy (as disclosed to the SEC)
- The Sezzle Virtual Card, issued by WebBank pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A Inc., allows consumers to use the Sezzle Platform with merchants in-store and online, including merchants that are not directly-integrated with Sezzle.
- Enterprise merchants, which we define as merchants with over $250.0 million in total annual gross sales, also benefit from using the Sezzle Platform.
- Consumers elect to participate in Sezzle Up, which allows us to report the consumer's transactions made on the Sezzle Platform to establish a record of payments.
- We earn a fee from our lending collaborators for marketing and referring the potential consumers to them and processing applications using our proprietary underwriting analysis; however, we do not make final credit decisions or originate or hold the loans in our portfolio, which limits our capital needs and credit risk.
Partnerships
- Through collaboration with third-party lenders, we enable our consumers at participating merchants access to interest-bearing monthly fixed-rate installment-loan products for larger-ticket items (up to $15,000), which extend up to 60 months.
- As part of our ongoing initiatives in product innovation, we partnered with a bank sponsor, WebBank, enabling us to expand the suite of products we are able to offer our consumers.
Legal & Regulatory Risks (Item 1A, quoted)
- The BNPL industry is subject to various and complex state and federal laws in the United States and federal, provincial and territorial laws in Canada, and the costs to maintain compliance with such laws and regulations may be significant.
- We are subject to a range of state and federal laws and regulations concerning consumer finance that can be highly technical, subject to varying interpretations, and potentially conflict or overlap as they change over time.
- New laws or regulations in the U.S. or Canada, or laws and regulations in new markets, that apply to us or our business could also require us to incur significant expenses and devote significant management attention to ensure compliance.
- We are subject to the regulatory, supervisory, and enforcement authority of the CFPB. Regulations issued by the CFPB or examinations by the CFPB, or changes in such regulations and examinations, could impact our business and financial condition due to, among other things, increased compliance costs or costs due to noncompliance.
