The Alchemy of Splitting Stocks: A Tale of Sezzle and the Guild of Buy-Now-Pay-Later

Sezzle’s journey began humbly enough when it entered the market at a split-adjusted price of $3.78 in August 2023[^2]. Since then, its ascent has been nothing short of meteoric-or perhaps pyrotechnic, depending on how you look at it. After executing a 6-for-1 stock split in March, less than two years after going public, the company now boasts gains exceeding 2,200%. That’s right: two thousand two hundred percent. If numbers were sentient, they’d be suing for emotional distress.
