Affirm Holdings Stock Gains Momentum Following Goldman Sachs Price Target Hike
Yahoo Finance ·
Goldman Sachs recently lifted its price target on Affirm Holdings, Inc. to $115 from $106, highlighting strong underlying fundamentals. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026, the company reported a 33% revenue surge to $1.2 billion, alongside an operating income rise to $147 million. Growth drivers include robust interest-bearing loans, Shopify's expansion in Australia, and scaling volumes at Amazon. Furthermore, active users for the Affirm Card more than doubled to 5.2 million, propelling card GMV up by 124% to $2.8 billion. Management projects fiscal 2027 GMV to reach $64 billion with an adjusted operating margin of 30.5%. Meanwhile, Wolfe Research upgraded the stock to Outperform with a $90 target. Nevertheless, risks persist, notably potential credit quality deterioration, rising delinquencies among U.S. consumers, and intensifying competition within the installment-payment sector. Insider Monkey data indicated hedge fund holdings fell from 61 to 57 in the second quarter, while short interest stood at 15.67 million shares as of August 31.

DYAX 전담 분석
Goldman Sachs' target price hike and the 33% surge in Q4 revenue are bullish factors driven by strong earnings. Expansion of interest income and partnerships with Shopify and Amazon are positively impacting the stock.
On the other hand, loan defaults and deteriorating consumer credit health form the bearish scenario. Investors must watch for potential increases in credit loss provisions and fee pressures from intensifying competition.
