Affirm stock gives up premarket pop after Trump backs 10% credit-card rate cap

Affirm stock gives up premarket pop after Trump backs 10% credit-card rate cap

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 09:48 EST — Regular session Affirm Holdings’ shares slipped roughly 0.4% to $81.45 on Monday, after fluctuating between $80.90 and $84.65 in initial trades. The stock closed at $81.80 on Friday. (Investing.com) Shares dropped after President Donald Trump proposed a one-year cap on credit-card APRs at 10%. The idea hit bank and card-lender stocks but briefly boosted some alternative finance firms. Affirm climbed as much as 5% in premarket, though investors doubted the plan’s chances. Jefferies analysts called it “dead on arrival,” saying no executive power can enforce it alone. JPMorgan’s Vivek Juneja warned it

Capital One stock slides as Trump’s 10% credit-card rate cap spooks lenders

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 08:13 EST — Premarket Shares of Capital One Financial dropped roughly 10% in premarket Monday after investors offloaded credit-card and consumer-lending stocks amid fresh chatter about rate caps. The squeeze landed hard on a business built around spreads. Credit-card interest powers issuer profits, and a 10% cap would plunge well below the industry’s current rates. The bids quickly evaporated. Synchrony Financial and Bread Financial tumbled between 10% and 11% in early trading. American Express slipped about 4%, while Visa and Mastercard each dropped roughly 2%. On the flip side, alternative lenders gained ground: Affirm rose

Zip Co stock jumps on Trump credit-card rate cap talk as ASX:ZIP gets fresh bid

Sydney, 12 January 2026, 10:57 AEDT — Regular session Shares of Zip Co Ltd (ASX: ZIP) climbed up to 6.4%, hitting A$3.80 by 10:42 a.m. AEDT on Monday. The rise continued from an early jump at the open, with buy-now-pay-later stocks gaining ground in consumer finance. (Market Index) This matters because Zip’s stock reacts heavily to sentiment around U.S. consumer credit, not just its own performance. Changes in card lending rules or pricing can alter the borrower pool BNPL companies target, as well as how much it costs to fund them. This comes at a tricky time for investors assessing

NEW YORK (12:00 PM ET, Thursday, Dec. 18, 2025) — Fintech stocks are commanding the spotlight at midday as investors juggle three fast-moving forces: a cooler U.S. inflation print that’s reviving risk appetite, a fresh burst of stablecoin momentum from regulated players, and an intensifying “everything trading app” arms race led by Coinbase and Robinhood.
