EZCORP reported record operating results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2026, with total revenue up 46% to $446.9 million and gross profit up 46% to $260.0 million. Net income attributable to EZCORP nearly doubled to $49.1 million, diluted EPS rose 85% to $0.61, and pawn loans outstanding climbed 33% to an all-time high of $349.4 million, driven by strong pawn demand, higher gold prices and the first-time consolidation of Simple Management Group following the Founders acquisition. The company expanded its footprint by 123 stores in the quarter, including 117 acquired locations and six new openings, and subsequently purchased 32 additional stores in Guatemala, reinforcing its market leadership there. Management highlighted disciplined capital allocation, a highly liquid balance sheet and ongoing operational improvements at SMG as key levers to scale its global platform and pursue both organic and acquisition-driven growth while navigating higher labor costs, particularly in Latin America. The most recent analyst rating on (EZPW) stock is a Buy with a $40.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on EZCORP stock, see the EZPW Stock Forecast page. Spark’s Take on EZPW Stock According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, EZPW is a Outperform. The score is driven primarily by solid financial performance (strong margins and healthy free cash flow) and supportive earnings-call commentary (record operating results and favorable near-term momentum). Technicals add support via a strong uptrend, but overbought indicators temper the outlook. Valuation appears reasonable at ~16.6x earnings, with no dividend yield support included.
