$Sezzle(SEZL.US) revenue beat expectations and full-year guidance was raised, yet the stock lost one-third of its market cap in a day, with RSI dropping to around 30. $Chime Financial(CHYM.US) is even weirder—Canaccord just raised its target price to $45, but it fell nearly seven points that same day.
On the consumer credit front, good news is met with selling. Is the market starting to price in the bad debt cycle for buy-now-pay-later and digital banks ahead of time, or is it simply profit-taking at high levels?
The answer is more likely the former. $Sezzle(SEZL.US)'s raised guidance is built on expanding lending scale; the larger the scale, the harder it becomes to manage exposure if macro conditions turn. At times like these, "beating expectations" itself becomes a risk signal.
