What this transaction means for investors
Nayax President Keren Sharir’s May 27 sale of company stock came at a time when shares were surging. The stock hit a 52-week high of $76.86 on May 29, just days after Sharir’s disposition.
She wasn’t the only one selling. Other company insiders did the same in May. The sales are understandable given Nayax’s incredible share price growth.
In Sharir’s case, her disposition is not necessarily a cause for investor concern. Her transaction was the result of exercising 4,500 stock options and immediately selling them. This is a common practice among business insiders.
In addition, she retained nearly 27,000 directly-held shares and over 23,000 stock options. These indicate Sharir maintains a sizable equity stake after her May 27 sale.
Nayax stock rose thanks to outstanding business performance. In the first quarter, the company achieved sales of $106.9 million, representing strong 32% year-over-year growth.
This impressive revenue increase was fueled by a major milestone: Nayax recently surpassed an installed base of 1.5 million devices. As the company expands its global footprint of connected machines, transaction volumes flowing across its payment platform grow.
