What this transaction means for investors

The May 28 and 29 dispositions of Nayax stock by company CTO David Ben-Avi came at a time when shares were skyrocketing. The stock hit a 52-week high of $76.86 on the day of Ben-Avi's May 29 sale.

Given the rising share price, it makes sense the Nayax co-founder would sell some of his stake. That said, he retained 6.6 million shares after the transaction, showing that he maintains substantial equity in the company. Consequently, Ben-Avi's dispositions do not look like a cause for investor concern.

Nayax's outstanding business performance led to the rise in its stock price. On May 12, the company announced first-quarter sales of $107 million, representing strong 32% year-over-year growth.

The rising revenue was due to Nayax crossing an installed base of 1.5 million devices. More machines translates into an increase in transactions flowing through the company's platform. As a result, Nayax forecasted 2026 revenue in the range of $510 million to $520 million, up from $400.4 million in 2025.
