Affirm Beats Q3 Estimates on Strong GMV Growth and Raises Fiscal 2026 Guidance

Key Facts

1Affirm surpassed Q3 estimates as Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) jumped 35%.

2Transactions climbed 45%, prompting the company to raise its fiscal 2026 guidance.

Affirm reported robust third-quarter results surpassing estimates, driven by a 35% jump in Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) and a 45% surge in transactions. This growth was specifically propelled by the Affirm Card and high demand for 0% APR offerings. Notably, the company has now raised its fiscal 2026 guidance for the third time, backed by data showing resilient credit metrics and improving profit margins. In the broader tech sector, BILL Holdings recorded strong fee growth, while Datadog (DDOG) topped guidance fueled by gains in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). These combined performances highlight sustained momentum across the fintech and cloud software verticals as Affirm continues to optimize its financial outlook.
