Spyglass Growth Strategy James A. Robillard | “Affirm Holdings, Inc. (AFRM), a financial technology company, was a top contributor during the second quarter. Affirm reported quarterly results in May that exceeded consensus expectations for both revenue and earnings. Notably, we were pleased to see Affirm Card gross merchandise volume grow 146% year-over-year to $2.13 billion and active cardholders increase 130% year-over-year to 4.4 million. After a difficult start to the year for the stock, which we believe was driven by geopolitical risks and fears around the potential for a weakening consumer given the crosscurrents in the US economy, sentiment appears to have recovered following the US-Iran ceasefire and a more stable macroeconomic outlook. We were also pleased with the management team's growth outlook and profitability framework which was articulated at the Company's investor forum in May. Affirm remains a significant position for the portfolio.” | BULL | Q2 2026 Jul 28, 2026 | View Pitch |
