Affirm Holdings has been receiving positive reviews from various experts following an impressive earnings report, with Q3 revenues and adjusted EPS exceeding expectations.

He targets $100. He loved their last quarter.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Reports terrific numbers yesterday. Is very profitable. Q3 revenues and adjusted EPS beat. Is up 30% since the early April lows, but down 13% this year.

BUY

A month ago, they delivered a great quarter: 12% earnings beat and strong revenue beat. Share popped then went sideways over consumer worries. The consumer is actually fine.

Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research

EPS of $0.2 beat estimates of $0.12 and sales of $876.42M beat estimates of $834.35M. Sales grew 33% year-over-year, and guidance was above analyst estimates. Management noted strong consumer demand for its buy now, pay later services and increasing adoption of 0% APR offerings by merchants helped to lift results. Its merchant network grew 24%, and overall management expects continued momentum. We think this was a really strong quarter, and while it trades at a high valuation of 42X forward earnings, we think its momentum can continue here.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The froth has come off during this sell off and now it's time to buy.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Fresh buy signal today that could go away tomorrow (if there's a bit of weakness), but it's trying to catch hold. Longer term looks really good. Looking at the big swings of volatility, could come back to the $37 range and it would still be good long term.

DON'T BUY

Falling rates will help this company since the spread will widen. Volatile since if the economy softens, delinquencies could be a problem.

DON'T BUY

When to buy puts?

It has a giant short position, and every time the stock goes down, the street pulls it up. The actual quarter in mid-February will probably be good. It's a sucker's game to short this.

BUY

They've turned the corner. Their quarter was remarkable.

DON'T BUY

Buy now, pay later stocks: Affirm, Upstart, Block and Paypal Upstart is down 92% from its high, Affirm 89%, Block 78% and PayPal 76%. Some of this is due to these stocks being massively massively overpriced to begin with. At peak, Affirm was trading at 30x sales (not earnings), and it won't be profitable before 2026. Block and PayPal are profitable, but were trading at sky-high multiples last year (170x PE and 65x respectively). The market hates the buy-now, pay-later stocks because they don't make money (though are well-run). He liked Upstart early on; it wasn't a buy-not,pay-later story, but helped facilitate loans using technology. But Upstart took on far more credit risk than assumed, which upset him. The business models of these stocks were far better when interest rates were low. Also, more competitors have rushed in now. The lesson: don't be caught up in euphoria. Earnings, valuations and interest rates matter.

TOP PICK

Recently became the sole buy-now, pay-later provider on Amazon. Jim Cramer has given several BUY signals over the last few months. Social media mentions are up 31% for the past 24 hours.

BUY

The top 5 junior, next-generation growth/tech stocks: #5 Affirm: The young distrust credit cards, but embrace this fintech. The CEO vows no hidden features and total transparency.

BUY

It's been a rocket since it won the contract to be the sole operator of buy-now, pay-later for Amazon. The CEO believes the credit card companies will be roadkill. AFRM won't offer hidden charges and extort consumers with high interest rates who can't pay their bills in time, says the CEO. AFRM withstand the pandemic downturn last year. This company has a mission. It's winning big business.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

This fintech stock surged from the mid-50s in July to $148 today, but last Wednesday was hammered by hot inflation numbers and a weak quarter by peer Upstart. Shares rebounded mostly the following day after reporting a generally strong quarter. At $24 below its high, this could be trading now at a discount.

SELL

If he owned it, he'd sell it. It's tripled since May. There's competition in the space, flooding in now. And investors have priced in a lot of growth. Sell a third. DO NOT buy it. If you're aggressive, then dump it.
