- NYAX finished Wednesday at $66.81, slipping 0.28%. This was before the start of Thursday’s main Nasdaq trading.
- Chief Product Officer Erez Amnipour sold 231 shares, according to a May 20 SEC filing. Another filing showed shareholders cleared all AGM proposals except one, which was pulled.
- The stock trailed as the Nasdaq Composite closed up 1.55% on Wednesday.
Nayax Ltd. shares in the U.S. went into Thursday’s premarket as investors looked at new disclosures from insiders and filings tied to the shareholder meeting, while the payments firm’s growth numbers stayed strong. NYAX finished Wednesday at $66.81, off 19 cents, and about 11% under its $75.00 high for the past year.
Nasdaq trading hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, with the next U.S. market holiday shown as Memorial Day, May 25, 2026, according to the exchange. This is a standard pre-open schedule, not a holiday session.
Nayax’s chief product officer, Amnipour, sold 231 ordinary shares in an open-market trade at $67 a piece on May 19. He now holds 16,627 shares, according to the latest company-specific filing.
CFO Sagit Manor’s Form 4 was different. The filing said the issuer withheld and sold shares to cover taxes from vesting RSUs—restricted share units that turn into stock after vesting.
Nayax filed a May 19 update on its annual meeting, saying every proposal the board put to shareholders got enough votes to pass, except for Proposal 11, which the company said it took off the table before the meeting.
Nayax’s execution after the March quarter is still in focus for the stock. For the first quarter, Nayax reported revenue of $106.9 million, up 32%. Organic revenue grew 26%. Net income was $1.3 million and adjusted EBITDA came in at $13.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA removes interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and other company adjustments.
NYAX CEO Yair Nechmad told the earnings call the company’s “growth algorithm is working” as it adds more customers, devices expand, and transactions increase. CFO Sagit Manor said growth was driven by “deeper engagement and higher-value usage,” citing gains in EV charging, amusement and car wash segments. StockAnalysis
Investors are still paying attention to Nayax after total transaction value climbed 33% to $1.8 billion. Processed transactions came in at 759 million, up 16%. The payment take rate was 2.66%. Nayax stuck with its 2026 revenue outlook at $510 million to $520 million, and adjusted EBITDA at $85 million to $90 million.
Nayax faces plenty of competition. The company’s annual report names Cantaloupe, 365 Retail and Ingenico as rivals, showing Nayax in a crowded field for unattended-retail payments, devices and software. Still, it’s aiming to grow its recurring revenue.
But risk stands out. Hardware margin dropped to 33.1% from 39.5% in the first quarter. Free cash flow was negative $6 million. Financing costs climbed. Later coverage of the call noted pressure from take-rate and foreign exchange. The guidance buffer could get thinner if these issues last longer than management thinks.
NYAX comes to market with a small new filing and some big growth talk, while risk appetite is back up. Where investors land when trading starts Thursday will set the tone.
