Gossip
The narrative is dominated by the 'Apple Effect'—Affirm's integration into Apple Pay in the US—which massiveley expands their total addressable market. Short-sellers are being squeezed as the company demonstrates that BNPL is a resilient feature, not just a low-rate environment fad.

- ·Anticipated Fed rate cuts lowering cost of funds
- ·Affirm Card adoption accelerating merchant-agnostic spend
- ·Market share gains against traditional credit cards
Financial
While not yet GAAP profitable on a trailing basis, Affirm is showing massive operating leverage. GMV growth is accelerating (30%+), and the 'Revenue Less Transaction Costs' (RLTC) remains robust despite higher funding costs, proving their underwriting AI works.

- ·Active Consumers: ~18.7 million
- ·Take Rate: Sustained above 9%
- ·Adjusted Operating Margin: Turning positive
