Stock Performance and Analyst Upgrade: Affirm (AFRM) stock rose 9.2% after Compass Point upgraded its rating to Buy, citing that the recent sell-off due to losing Walmart as a partner was overblown and presenting a buying opportunity; the analyst believes the impact on future earnings will be minimal.
Partnership Expansion: Affirm has expanded its partnership with Adyen in the U.K., allowing more merchants to offer flexible payment options, which follows significant growth in their collaboration since its inception in 2020.
