  • Affirm Holdings (AFRM) Stock Gains Momentum Amidst Growth Driven Valuation Debate
    June 5, 2026, 7:40 AM EDT. Affirm Holdings (AFRM) stock rose 3.67% to $68.70 with a 90-day gain of 32.88%, reflecting strong momentum in the buy now, pay later sector. Market value is around $22 billion, yet valuation metrics spark debate. The popular fair value estimate is $78.93, suggesting 13% undervaluation driven by compound revenue growth, improving margins, and expansion beyond online retail through the Affirm Card. However, Affirm's price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) stands at 60.2x, substantially higher than the US Diversified Financial industry average of 16.3x and peers at 18.2x, raising concerns about potential over-optimism. Key risks include maintaining merchant partnerships and managing credit losses, which could impact future earnings and share price stability.
