In short

Thesis
The market weighs the fast loan growth and rising profit of Affirm against loan losses and its need for steady funding, and steady credit results through 2027 can lift its value.
Gap
Can close. The Q2 fiscal 2027 report, expected in early February 2027, covers the holiday quarter and shows whether growth, loan losses and the margin stay on the guided path.

Company guidance: Fiscal 2027 GMV more than $65.25 billion; operating margin more than 14.75%; Q2 GMV $17.9 to $18.2 billion (, Q1 fiscal 2027 shareholder letter (8-K))

Price history

About

Affirm Holdings, Inc. (Affirm) is based in San Francisco, California. It offers loans that a person repays over time at online and in-store checkout, and the Affirm Card, which lets a person choose to pay over time. It earns network fees from merchants, interest on loans and gains on loan sales.

It sells loans to capital partners and funds the rest with warehouse lines and securitizations. The fiscal year ends on June 30. GMV was $14.4 billion in Q1 fiscal 2027, the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and revenue was $1,262 million.

Affirm had 28.7 million active consumers and 6.0 million active cardholders. The Class A common stock trades on Nasdaq in US dollars. Affirm files 10-K and 10-Q reports.

Thesis

The price of Affirm depends on whether it can keep loan volume growing above 30% a year while credit losses and funding costs stay low. In Q1 fiscal 2027 GMV grew 34%, revenue grew 35% and operating income rose to $187.1 million from $63.7 million. The provision for credit losses grew 59% to $259.4 million, faster than revenue, and Affirm depends on loan buyers, warehouse lines and securitizations, which depend on credit markets. Amazon made 20% of GMV.

For the price to hold or rise, four things must be true. GMV growth must stay above 30%, with more volume from the Affirm Card. Loan losses must stay close to what the allowance expects. Funding must stay available with the equity capital that Affirm needs at 5% or less of its portfolio, as it guides.

The operating margin must stay above the 14.75% that Affirm guides for fiscal 2027. The Q2 fiscal 2027 report, expected in early February 2027, covers the holiday quarter and is the next test.

Risks

  • Credit losses can rise. The provision for credit losses was $259.4 million in Q1 fiscal 2027, up 59%, against revenue up 35%. Loans held for investment were $10.1 billion, and a weaker consumer would raise delinquencies.
  • Funding depends on credit markets. Funding debt was $2.9 billion and notes issued by securitization trusts were $6.2 billion at September 30, 2026. If investors stop buying loans or spreads widen, funding costs rise and growth can slow.
  • One partner is a large part of volume. Amazon made 20% of GMV in Q1 fiscal 2027, and the top five partners made 40%.
  • Interest rates can raise costs. The outlook assumes that short-term benchmark rates rise during fiscal 2027, which raises the cost of funding.
  • Warrants for partners add cost and dilution. Enterprise warrant expense is higher in Q2 fiscal 2027, and the exercise price of Amazon warrants was cut to $63.06 per share in November 2025.
