AFRM Stock Today (Nov 6, 2025): Affirm Jumps After Q1 FY26 Beat, Extends Amazon Deal, Sets Q2 Revenue Outlook

Published: November 6, 2025

Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ: AFRM) surged in after-hours trading on Thursday after posting stronger‑than‑expected fiscal Q1 2026 results, raising the near‑term outlook and disclosing a multi‑year extension of its U.S. agreement with Amazon. Shares traded around the low‑$70s in the evening session—roughly 9%–11% above the regular‑session close—as investors reacted to the beat‑and‑raise narrative. [1]


Key Takeaways

  • Earnings beat: Revenue of $933.3 million and GAAP EPS of $0.23 topped consensus. Net income was $80.7 million. [2]
  • Usage up:Gross merchandise volume (GMV) hit $10.8 billion, up ~42% year over year. [3]
  • Guidance set: For fiscal Q2 2026, Affirm guided revenue to $1.03–$1.06 billion. [4]
  • Strategic update: Affirm extended its U.S. agreement with Amazon for five years (effective Feb. 1, 2026; runs through January 2031) and amended Amazon’s warrant in connection with the deal. [5]

What Happened Today

After the bell, Affirm reported fiscal Q1 2026 results that beat Wall Street expectations on both the top and bottom lines. The company posted $933.3 million in revenue and GAAP EPS of $0.23, versus consensus that was looking for roughly $883 million and $0.11, respectively. The company also swung to a $80.7 million GAAP profit for the quarter. [6]

Management also laid out Q2 FY26 revenue guidance of $1.03–$1.06 billion, which brackets the consensus midpoint. Markets initially focused on the stronger‑than‑expected current‑quarter print and healthy usage metrics. [7]


By the Numbers (Fiscal Q1 2026)

  • Revenue:$933.3M (vs. est. ~$883M). [8]
  • GAAP Net Income / EPS:$80.7M / $0.23, a swing from a loss a year ago and ahead of ~$0.11 consensus. [9]
  • GMV:$10.8B, up about 42% YoY, underscoring strong demand across the network and card usage. [10]

These headline figures collectively point to healthy consumer engagement and continued traction across Affirm’s merchant partners and card program.


Guidance & Outlook

For the December quarter (Q2 FY26), Affirm expects revenue of $1.03–$1.06B. While the midpoint sits near street expectations, the magnitude of the Q1 beat—and the GMV momentum into the holiday period—was enough to lift sentiment after hours. [11]


Amazon Agreement Extended

Affirm disclosed that it entered into a Second Amended and Restated Installment Financing Services Agreement with Amazon, effective February 1, 2026, extending the relationship for five years—through January 2031. The company also amended Amazon’s warrant to purchase up to 15 million Affirm shares in connection with the restated agreement, according to an 8‑K filing. The extension cements Amazon as a durable distribution channel for Affirm’s pay‑over‑time options across Amazon.com and Amazon Pay. [12]


How the Stock Moved

  • Regular session: AFRM finished the day at $65.96. [13]
  • After hours: Shares jumped to roughly $72–$73, up ~9%–11% following the report. Multiple real‑time feeds showed prints around $72.62–$73.42 during the early evening. [14]

Why It Matters for Investors

  • Proof of operating leverage: The swing to GAAP profitability alongside double‑digit GMV growth suggests Affirm is scaling while maintaining discipline on credit and funding costs. [15]
  • Holiday setup: With Q2 covering peak shopping weeks, Affirm’s guidance implies continued demand for installment options—a tailwind if GMV growth holds. [16]
  • Channel durability: The Amazon extension reduces partnership‑related overhangs and supports long‑term volume visibility. [17]

What to Watch Next

  • Earnings call: Management hosts its Q1 FY26 call at 5:00 p.m. ET today (Nov 6). Listen for color on credit performance, funding costs, the Affirm Card, and incremental details on the Amazon agreement. [18]

Bottom Line

On November 6, 2025, AFRM delivered a clean beat, healthy usage metrics, and a renewed Amazon pact—three catalysts that lifted the stock after hours. With holiday‑season visibility framed by Q2 revenue guidance of $1.03–$1.06B, Affirm enters year‑end with momentum and a sturdier partnership foundation.

Stock Market Today

  • October Job-Cuts Surge: Worst Layoffs in 22 Years Fueled by AI, Costs and Softening Demand
    November 6, 2025, 7:52 PM EST. October layoffs surged to 153,074, the largest monthly tally since 2003, as firms pressed cost cuts amid AI adoption, softer consumer and corporate spending, and mounting cost pressures. Challenger, Gray & Christmas notes the year's total tops 1 million, up about 65% from a year ago, with technology, retail, and services leading the cuts. Amazon, Microsoft and UPS among the big names extending job reductions, while the fourth quarter pace surprised many as 450 announced plans, up from under 400 in September. With labor-market slack still evident, job seekers face longer searches as the Fed contemplates further rate moves after rate cuts to 3.75-4%.
  • CRH Valuation Check After 2% Dip
    November 6, 2025, 7:50 PM EST. CRH's stock has fallen roughly 2% over the past month but is up more than 25% this year, with a 3-year total shareholder return above 260%. The market narrative labels CRH as undervalued, with a fair value around $133.27. The bull case hinges on the U.S. infrastructure funding rollout and a constructive highway bill outlook, promising sustained revenue growth and backlog visibility. Still, risks include dependence on public funding shifts and the challenges of integrating acquisitions. On valuation, CRH trades at 23.7x earnings, above the sector average 15.1x, but near peers at 26.8x and a fair multiple around 26.2x. The question remains whether current prices fully reflect growth potential or if further upside awaits.
  • Cocoa Prices Sink as West African Prospects Improve; Ivory Coast Harvest Underway
    November 6, 2025, 7:48 PM EST. December ICE NY cocoa (CCZ25) and ICE London cocoa (#7, CAZ25) closed lower for a second day as expectations of a bumper West Africa crop weigh on prices. Ivory Coast farmers report healthy trees and drier beans, while Ghanaian pod development accelerates on favorable weather. Mondelez cited cocoa pod counts about 7% above the five-year average and higher than last year, supporting optimism about quality. The market has also priced in the Bloomberg Commodity Index inclusion for cocoa starting January, potentially drawing inflows. Ivory Coast export data showed shipments down about 16% from a year ago, helping shrink ICE cocoa inventories to a 7.25-month low in U.S. ports. Demand softness, including weak North American chocolate sales and sluggish Q3 grindings in Asia/Europe, remains a price headwind.
  • Sugar Prices Rebound as Real Strength Triggers Short Covering
    November 6, 2025, 7:46 PM EST. Sugar prices rebounded after early losses as a stronger Brazilian real sparked short covering in futures. March NY #11 SBH26 rose about +0.85%, while London's ICE white sugar #5 SWZ25 gained +0.36%. The real's strength discouraged Brazil's export sales and helped lift the market from a wave of macro-softness that left NY sugar near multi-year lows. Supportive factors include upgraded Brazil Center-South production forecasts (Datagro near 44 MMT for 2026/27) and Conab's 45 MMT 2025/26 estimate. India's ISMA raised 2025/26 production to 31 MMT, yet trimmed ethanol-use, potentially boosting exports. If a global sugar surplus persists, price rallies may be limited, even as supply signals from Brazil and India remain important cushions for bulls.
  • Worst October layoffs in 22 years drag stocks lower as investors reassess the labor market
    November 6, 2025, 7:44 PM EST. October's layoffs data showed the worst reading in 22 years, fanning selling pressure across major indices. The sobering print revived bearish sentiment for stocks, with tech and growth names leading the decline as traders priced in weaker demand and ongoing labor market softness. Investors weighed the implications for Fed policy, inflation trajectories, and the pace of rate cuts, sending risk assets lower and boosting volatility. Some defensive sectors found marginal support, but the broader risk-off tone underscored how central labor data remains a key driver for near-term equities expectations and the direction of rates.
