Investing.com - William Blair has reiterated an Outperform rating on Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:AFRM), now valued at $23.8 billion, ahead of the company’s fiscal fourth quarter results scheduled for August 28. According to InvestingPro data, analysts have set price targets ranging from $56 to $90 for the stock, which has delivered an impressive 152% return over the past year.
The investment firm suggests investors should add Affirm to their portfolios before the upcoming earnings report, citing expectations of gross merchandise volume (GMV) upside following strong results from Shopify (NYSE:NASDAQ:SHOP). With revenue growing at 42.5% and a robust current ratio of 13.47, InvestingPro analysis reveals 8 additional key insights available to subscribers, including detailed growth projections and financial health metrics.
William Blair notes that Affirm’s top customers, Shopify and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), are estimated to account for more than 50% of the company’s GMV, which should offset potential pressure from Walmart (NYSE:WMT).
The firm identifies Walmart as a possible two-to-three-point fiscal 2026 GMV headwind for Affirm, but remains confident in the company’s growth trajectory.
William Blair currently forecasts 28% GMV growth for Affirm in fiscal 2026, which exceeds the Street consensus estimate of 25%, and expects the upcoming earnings call to provide insights into what Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Pay could mean for Affirm in late fiscal 2026.
