Earnings beat and raised forecasts drive positive operational momentum

Affirm delivered strong fiscal Q1 2026 earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, with net income of $80.7 million and GAAP EPS of $0.23, surpassing consensus estimates. The company also reported revenue of $933 million, up about 34% year-over-year, and raised its gross merchandise volume forecast for fiscal 2025 and 2026 to exceed $47.5 billion, while expanding funding capacity to $26.6 billion. Operational milestones included growth in active merchants to 419,000, an influx of 500,000 Affirm Card members, and an extended five-year partnership with Amazon alongside new integrations with major partners.

Oversold signals increase as momentum diverges from price gains

Momentum on the daily chart is mixed, with MACD remaining negative and signaling a sell, while ADX is low and points to a lack of directional strength. Leading oscillators such as the RSI (36.68), Stoch RSI (0.00), CCI (–161.71), and BBP (–0.25) collectively highlight prevailing oversold conditions, suggesting sellers recently dominated but are also pressing into potential exhaustion. The daily session opened with a clear upward gap from $65.96 to $69.62, and the price currently trades near the higher end of its range ($69.62–$73.48), reflecting high intraday volatility with sustained strength toward the highs. Divergence is evident, as strong daily price gains and bullish intraday momentum contrast with bearish or oversold daily indicator readings.

Upward bias expected as buy signals reduce downside risk

Looking ahead, the expected price corridor for the coming week is $72.22 to $73.27. The probability of a price increase is more likely, with the chance of a decrease considered very low (less than 20%), based on a majority of "Buy" signals from weekly trend indicators. The baseline scenario envisions AFRM consolidating sideways within this narrow corridor. A bullish breakout above the $73.27 resistance would clear the way for further upside, while a bearish scenario would see a break below $72.22, exposing the stock to renewed selling pressure toward the $70 region.

Anton Kharitonov, Traders Union expert, sees Affirm Holdings, Inc. exhibiting mixed technical signals and high volatility, despite its strong financial report and operational growth. He notes that while the company’s fundamentals impress with robust revenue and partnership news, daily momentum indicators remain bearish and oversold, warranting skepticism about near-term upside. For now, the baseline scenario is a sideways consolidation between $72.22 and $73.27, with cautious bias toward a breakout only if resistance is cleared. "Until AFRM can decisively sustain above $73.27, I remain defensive and would not chase the upside here," Kharitonov concludes.

Previously it was noted that AFRM was experiencing mixed momentum and oversold oscillators as resistance and support converge. The news highlighted how further downside favored as recovery odds remain limited for the asset based on technical indicators.
