Affirm Holdings, Inc., No. 22-cv-01243 (N.D. Cal.).

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Affirm purports to be a "next generation platform for digital and mobile-first commerce."  At approximately 1:15 p.m. EST on February 10, 2022, Affirm issued a tweet from its official account in which Affirm 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%. 

As the Affirm class action lawsuit alleges, the tweet caused Affirm's share price to spike nearly 10% in intra-day trading. The Affirm class action lawsuit further alleges that the tweet was materially misleading, in that it omitted to disclose the full details of Affirm's second quarter financial results.

Affirm deleted the tweet and released its full second quarter financial results ahead of schedule.  The full financial results were lackluster – with Affirm posting a loss of $0.57 per share, compared with analyst expectations of $0.37 per share. On 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%, damaging investors.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased Affirm securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Affirm class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the class action lawsuit.  An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery of the class action lawsuit is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
