Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C., a nationally recognized stockholder rights law firm, reminds investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Affirm Holdings, Inc. (“Affirm” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AFRM) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased or otherwise acquired Affirm securities on February 10, 2022 after approximately 1:15pm EST. Investors have until April 29, 2022 to apply to the Court to be appointed as lead plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Affirm purports to be a “next generation platform for digital and mobile-first commerce.” Through its platform, the Company offers “buy now, pay later” or “BNPL” services to consumers. Affirm represents itself “a more flexible and transparent alternative to credit cards.”
At approximately 1:15 p.m. on February 10, 2022, Affirm issued a Tweet from its official account in which the Company disclosed certain metrics from its second quarter 2022 financial results. The Tweet, which was published prior to the Company’s planned release of its financial results, portrayed a highly successful quarter, which included an increase in revenue of 77%. This caused Affirm’s share price to spike nearly 10% in intra-day trading.
The Tweet was materially misleading, in that it omitted to disclose the full details of Affirm’s second quarter financial results.
Indeed, the Company deleted the Tweet and released its full second quarter financial results ahead of schedule. The full financial results were lackluster – with the Company posting a loss of $0.57 per share, compared with analyst expectations of $0.37 per share.
On this news, Affirm’s share price plummeted from an intra-day high of $83.57 per share on February 10, 2022, to close at $58.68 per share, or approximately 32%.
