In today's video I look at fundamentals, financial metrics, and recent news for Affirm (AFRM 1.21%). On July 13, Affirm's stock price dropped after reports that Apple (AAPL -0.48%) is working with Goldman Sachs (GS 1.52%) to create a buy now, pay later service that rivals Affirm. Below I share a few highlights from the video. 

  1. On June 10, Affirm services became available to all Shopify (SHOP -0.15%) merchants in the U.S. Affirm exclusively powers Shopify Pay installments. 
  2. During the earnings call on May 10, Affirm reported a solid third quarter and raised its outlook for its fiscal year 2021 due to a substantial year-over-year gross merchandise volume growth of 83%. 
  3. On May 3, Affirm completed the acquisition of Returnly, a leader in online return experiences and post-purchase payments. It seems Affirm's leadership is trying to broaden its market from just a buy now, pay later service to have more solutions for the e-commerce market.
