Executive Summary

EZCORP reported record Q2 FY2026 results, with revenue up 46% YoY to $446.9M and diluted EPS of $0.61, significantly exceeding the Street consensus of $0.36. The beat was driven by strong organic growth across U.S. and Latin America pawn segments, favorable gold prices, and the first full quarter contribution from the SMG acquisition. Net income attributable to EZCORP surged 93% to $49.1M.
