The headline profit gap belied an otherwise operationally strong quarter: Gross Merchandise Volume surged 36% to $13.80 billion, and the company's Affirm Card emerged as the standout driver, with Card GMV nearly tripling to $2.20 billion and active cardholders more than doubling to 3.7 million. A record Black Friday/Cyber Monday season and the company's inaugural 0% APR promotional event in October, which contributed roughly 15% of all October GMV, provided meaningful volume momentum heading into the back half of the fiscal year. With analysts increasingly constructive on the stock, Affirm guided full-year FY2026 revenue of $4.09 billion to $4.15 billion and flagged the potential release of its US deferred tax valuation allowance by fiscal year-end if earnings momentum holds.

AFRM Forward Guidance & Outlook

For FQ3 2026, Affirm guides GMV of $11.00–$11.25 billion, revenue of $970–$1,000 million, RLTC of $450–$465 million, operating margin of 4.5–6.0%, and adjusted operating margin of 24.5–25.5%. For FQ4 2026, guidance is GMV of $12.75–$13.05 billion, revenue of $1,060–$1,090 million, RLTC of $510–$525 million, operating margin of 8.5–10.5%, and adjusted operating margin of 26.5–28.5%. Full-year FY2026 guidance calls for GMV of $48.30–$48.85 billion, revenue of $4,086–$4,146 million, RLTC of $1,958–$1,988 million, operating margin of 7.7–8.6%, and adjusted operating margin of 27.4–28.1%. The mix of 0% APR GMV is expected to increase year over year. International expansion is not expected to be a material growth contributor during FY2026. Short-term benchmark interest rates are expected to decline modestly. Equity Capital Required as a percent of Total Platform Portfolio is expected to remain below 5%. If the earnings trajectory continues, the company expects a potential release of a significant portion of the US deferred tax valuation allowance by the end of FY2026.
