EZCORP Inc’s chief legal officer sold 30,000 shares of Class A non-voting common stock on August 24, 2026, at an average price of $34.77 per share, totaling $1.04 million.

The disposal reduced Ellen H. Bryant’s direct holdings to 117,786 shares. The stock was trading at $35.23 at the time of the report, near its 52-week high of $37.12. Over the past year, EZCORP’s shares have surged 113%, including a 22.5% gain over the past week.

The company’s market capitalization stands at $2.16 billion, with a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 17.6. An InvestingPro valuation assessment currently ranks the stock as the most overvalued relative to its fair-value estimate.

EZCORP’s fiscal third-quarter results showed adjusted earnings per share of $0.47, exceeding the $0.40 forecast and marking a 47% year-over-year increase. Revenue reached $418.7 million, slightly below the anticipated $425.72 million. Growth was driven by core lending, merchandise sales, and loan balances, though management issued a cautious outlook for the near term.
