World Acceptance stock holds near recent highs after covenant amendment

World Acceptance Corporation stock (ISIN US9814191045) was quoted at around USD 191.82 as of September 14, 2026, keeping the specialist consumer finance lender close to its recent trading highs while the market weighs updated loan covenant terms with its banks.

Loan covenants adjusted through 2026

According to StockTitan on September 17, 2026, a recent Form 8-K filing shows that lenders under World Acceptance Corporation's credit facility agreed to modify the minimum ratio requirement for a key covenant test during 2026.

The filing summary indicates that the minimum ratio, normally 2.25 to 1.0 each quarter, will be reduced to 2.20 to 1.0 for the quarter ending March 31, 2026, then eased further to 2.10 to 1.0 for June 30, 2026, before moving to 2.15 to 1.0 for September 30, 2026, giving the company more flexibility around leverage and coverage metrics during this period.

Insider share sales add nuance to investor view

In addition to the covenant adjustment, insider trading disclosures provide another data point for investors monitoring World Acceptance Corporation's balance sheet and capital management.

As summarized by StockTitan on September 6, 2026, senior vice president of accounting Scott McIntyre reported selling 1,300 shares of World Acceptance Corporation common stock on August 3, 2026 in an open-market or private transaction at a reported price of USD 185 per share, a disposal that modestly reduces insider exposure while still leaving significant holdings.

Earlier historical Form 4 data show additional insider activity; for example, Alice Lindsay Caulder, senior vice president of human resources, sold 1,000 shares at a reported price of USD 167.33 per share on September 17, 2025, reducing her beneficial ownership to 16,515 shares, while director Ken R. Bramlett Jr. executed three open-market sales totaling 3,389 shares on September 10, 2025 at weighted-average prices in the USD 165.39 to USD 170.40 range, decreasing his holdings from 33,734 shares to 32,205 shares according to the same StockTitan overview.
