Director Paul Paradis sells 19.0K shares of SEZL at $191.05 avg (2026-07-15/16); scheduled 10b5-1 plan; retains 397.2K shares.

Paul Paradis, Director & President, executed 8 separate sales totaling 19.0K shares for $3.6M on 2026-07-15 and 2026-07-16, with a blended average price of $191.05. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-18, meaning the sales were scheduled and not discretionary timing decisions. The sales reduced his holdings from 416.2K to 397.2K shares (-4.6%), but he retains substantial common ownership. At current price of $174.67, the stock trades -10.8% from the 52-week high of $195.71 yet +19.0% over 30 days and +116.4% over 90 days, reflecting significant recent momentum. The company reports strong fundamentals with annual revenue growth of +66.1% and a market cap of $5.9B, though valuation at P/E 39.61 reflects elevated multiples. As a scheduled plan execution, this sale carries no timing signal but represents routine liquidity management by a substantial shareholder.

CFO Lee Dickson Brading sold 10,334 shares for $1.9M via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; stock down -10.8% from 52-week high but up +19.0% in 30 days.

CFO Lee Dickson Brading executed 6 separate sales totaling 10,334 shares for $1,948,909.92 across July 15–16, 2026, as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-06-17. His remaining stake is 286,497 shares, representing a -3.5% reduction from pre-transaction holdings. The transactions are scheduled under the plan and therefore not discretionary signals of executive sentiment. The sales occurred at blended average price $188.59, with current price at $174.67; the stock is -10.8% from its 52-week high of $195.71 but has rallied +19.0% over the prior 30 days and +116.4% over the prior 90 days. With annual revenue growth at +66.1% and a P/E of 39.61, the company is operating in a high-growth, high-valuation environment. The prior 5 trades by Brading at SEZZLE (all on 2026-07-01) are not yet measurable, limiting assessment of his prior timing at this ticker.

Sezzle COO Sabzivand sells 6,930 shares for $1.2M via scheduled 10b5-1 plan as stock rallies +54.3% in 30 days

Amin Sabzivand executed 2 separate sales totaling 6,930 shares for $1,246,782.13 on 2026-07-01 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted 2025-11-25, reducing his non-derivative holdings from 266,710 shares to 259,780 shares. The sales occurred after the stock advanced +54.3% over 30 days and +170.3% over 90 days to a current price of $179.05, near its 52-week high of $186.74. His prior sales at Sezzle (5 trades in 2025-06) showed negative 30-day and 90-day returns (ranging -9.0% to -10.6% at 30 days, -47.4% to -49.4% at 90 days), suggesting his prior discretionary timing at this ticker has not anticipated rallies. This transaction is scheduled under a pre-arranged plan rather than discretionary, so the recent stock momentum does not necessarily reflect his current assessment.

CFO Lee Dickson Brading sold 10,000 shares for $1.7M under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan; post-sale holding of 306.9K shares.

Lee Dickson Brading, Chief Financial Officer, executed 3 separate sales totaling 10,000 shares for $1,676,200.41 across June 25–26, 2026, at an average price of $167.62. This transaction was conducted under a 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-06-17, making it a scheduled, non-discretionary disposition. The sales reduced his holdings from 316.9K shares to 306.9K shares (-3.2%), a modest reduction relative to his position size. Given Sezzle's recent strong performance (30-day +44.5%, 90-day +169.7%, within 8.6% of its 52-week high), the CFO's scheduled liquidation occurs amid material stock appreciation. With the company posting $135.5M quarterly revenue and $51.3M net income, along with annual revenue growth of +66.1% and a market cap of $5.7B, fundamental conditions remain solid.

Significance 6

Director & President Paradis Paul sells ~25,600 shares for $2.6M; stock rebounding from 52-week lows despite conflicting insider timing signals.

Paradis Paul, the Director and President of Sezzle, disposed of nearly 25,600 shares across 14 transactions in early May for approximately $2.6M—a significant divestment by a top executive. The timing coincides with the stock trading well below its 52-week high after a sharp recent pullback, though notably the stock has rebounded sharply over the past month from severe depressed levels. Paul's insider track record at Sezzle shows a puzzling contradiction: his prior five sells at this ticker were all well-timed in the near term (the stock fell after each sale), suggesting sharp near-term judgment, yet over longer horizons those same sales proved poorly timed as shares recovered. This current sale comes as the company demonstrates solid financial fundamentals—profitable with strong revenue growth—but the director has a 36-month history of selling and zero open-market purchases, making this latest disposition part of an entrenched pattern of liquidation rather than a pivot in conviction. The conflicting timing signals from his prior trades (sharp but unsustained exits) combined with his zero-purchase track record creates ambiguity about whether this latest large sale reflects operational confidence or portfolio management divorced from the company's operational trajectory.

SVP FINANCE AND CONTROLLER

Significance 6

SVP Finance at SEZL dumps $1.26M in stock on a single day; prior sells were well-timed but stock now trades well below 52-week highs.

Krause Justin, the Senior Vice President of Finance and Controller at Sezzle, sold approximately 11,800 shares in a single day for a total of $1.26 million across ten separate transactions, representing roughly 9% of his holdings. This sale is notable because it comes at a time when the stock is trading significantly below its 52-week high, typically a moment when insiders who have been right about the company might hold or add. His prior three sales—all at this same company—were uniformly well-timed, with the stock declining in both the near and longer term after each exit, suggesting he has demonstrated skill at recognizing pullback moments. However, the company itself remains profitable and growing revenue at a robust pace, fundamentals that would normally encourage insider accumulation rather than disposition. The decision by a finance-focused executive to reduce stake despite positive fundamentals and at depressed valuations warrants attention to whether this reflects confidence in current valuation or signals caution about near-term headwinds not yet public.
