Sezzle (NasdaqCM:SEZL) is back in focus after raising its 2026 total revenue growth guidance to 35%, alongside second quarter earnings and a new US$300 million credit facility that lowers funding costs.

Sezzle's share price has been volatile around the latest guidance and earnings, with the stock down 34.2% on a 30 day share price return but still up 81.2% year to date and delivering a 35.2% total shareholder return over the past year. This points to strong longer term momentum despite the recent pullback.

For Sezzle, this sharp swing raises a simple tension. Are investors cooling on the story even as guidance, earnings and the new credit facility reshape the fundamentals, or has sentiment just moved faster than the valuation now supports?

Most Popular Narrative: 35% Overvalued

On the most followed narrative, Sezzle’s fair value of $87.18 sits well below the last close at $118.02, which puts the latest rally in a very different light.

Sezzle’s early momentum is commendable, but the “brutal truth” of BNPL, rising bad debts, commoditized subscriptions, and competitive saturation positions it for deceleration rather than breakout. Investors should view post-earnings spikes (for example, toward $68+) as exit opportunities, redeploying into lower-risk assets.

Curious what sits under that $87.18 fair value. The narrative leans heavily on revenue growth, margin durability and credit costs. It bakes in specific growth bands, profitability ranges and a required return of 7.45%. The full story joins those pieces into a single valuation roadmap.

Result: Fair Value of $87.18 (OVERVALUED)

However, Sezzle’s fair value story could shift quickly if credit losses climb or if regulators tighten rules around buy now, pay later products and fees.
