Record GMV and new investor stake as BNPL adoption increases

Affirm reported first quarter fiscal 2026 results, exceeding revenue expectations with $933.34 million and delivering earnings per share of $0.23, while net margin reached 6.74% and return on equity was 7.75%. The Affirm Card contributed strongly, driving GMV up 135% to $1.4 billion and boosting direct-to-consumer GMV by 53% to $3.2 billion, supported by greater BNPL adoption and increased engagement from a younger demographic. In addition, Alberta Investment Management Corp acquired a new stake in Affirm, purchasing 21,200 shares valued at approximately $1.47 million during the quarter.

Weak trend and oversold conditions confirm sustained bearish momentum

Momentum indicators show continued downside: MACD on D1 signals a sell, while ADX remains weak at 13.76, suggesting a lack of strong trend confirmation. RSI, Stochastic RSI, and CCI all indicate oversold conditions, highlighting persistent selling pressure, and BBP is deeply negative, confirming sellers' dominance intraday. The Awesome Oscillator also supports the bearish trend.

Downside bias and low rebound odds suggest range-bound consolidation

AFRM opened just below the previous close with no significant gap, and the price is currently near the bottom of today’s range ($63.47 – $66.54), after a drop of 3.14%. Volatility is elevated, and the tone is pressured to the downside soon after the open. The daily momentum and oscillator signals are aligned, reinforcing the weak intraday sentiment. For the next five trading days, the expected range is $61.50 to $67.00, based on typical volatility and current price action. The probability of a rebound is very low (less than 20%), given that only the weekly ADX is positive while all other weekly and daily signals remain bearish or neutral. Conversely, a further decline is more likely. The baseline scenario sees AFRM consolidating sideways between support at $61.50 and resistance at $67.00. A bullish scenario requires a confident move above $67.00, which would open the way toward the next resistance. In the bearish scenario, a sustained break below $61.50 could trigger further selling toward lower support levels.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees robust fundamental progress at Affirm, highlighting strong Q1 results and further institutional confidence with Alberta Investment’s new stake. He notes persistent bearish momentum and weak technicals for now, but recognizes resilient long-term demand, especially given direct-to-consumer growth and BNPL adoption among younger users. The analyst expects short-term price consolidation between $61.50 and $67.00. However, if Affirm can build support and sentiment improves, a breakout above resistance remains plausible. "I believe Affirm’s underlying growth story signals upside potential once technical selling subsides and sentiment stabilizes."

Last time we reported that AFRM was experiencing mixed momentum and oversold oscillators as resistance and support converge. It was previously noted that further downside favored as recovery odds remain limited for the asset based on technical indicators.
