AFFIRM'S ALLEGED MISCONDUCT
Affirm is a "next generation platform for digital and mobile-first commerce." Through its platform, Affirm 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 it disclosed certain metrics from its second quarter 2022 financial results. The Tweet, which was published prior to Affirm'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. Affirm then deleted the Tweet on February 10, 2022, and released its full second quarter 2022 financial results ahead of schedule. The full financial results were far less impressive than investors were led to believe from the Tweet. For example, Affirm posted a quarterly loss of $0.57 per share - far worse than analyst expectations of $0.37 per share.
Following the news of the deleted-Tweet and subsequent release of the full earnings, Affirm's share price fell $24.89 per share from an intra-day high of $83.57 per share, to close at $58.68 per share on February 10, 2022, or approximately 32%.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Affirminvestors may, no later than April 29, 2022 seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP encourages Affirm investors who have suffered significant losses to contact the firm directly to acquire more information.
