Dan: It’s THAT Time of Year 🎊
When earnings season rolls around . . . big shifts can happen.
Unexpected results from a company can cause a great deal of volatility in its stock price.
And a rising stock price is just about the best marketing a company can get in terms of enticing people to bid it up.
Afraid to miss the ride up as a stock unexpectedly surges, sidelined investors buy in. And then, it's off to the races . . .
After a stock has been beaten down, it sometimes takes a bit of buying pressure to lift it much higher.
This sort of buying pressure can come from any news, but earnings season is often the culprit.
And right now, one of our Gold Tier stocks is on its way up . . .
1 Stock Hitting Major Milestones 🍾
Last week, Affirm Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: AFRM) reported quarterly earnings. Subsequently, the stock price jumped roughly 50%.
Today, it sits at $44 per share, a six-month high!
AFRM 0.00%↑ is a platform for digital and mobile-first commerce.
It comprises a point-of-sale payment solution for consumers, merchant commerce solutions, and a consumer-focused app.
The firm generates its revenue from merchant and virtual card networks.
And it just delivered excellent results!
For the last quarter, revenue jumped 48% year over year (YoY) to $659 million.
Gross merchandise volume popped 31% YoY to $7.2 billion. And adjusted operating income is up 900% YoY $150 million.
Most notably, AFRM 0.00%↑ achieved profitability.
In the current market, these numbers are no small feat.
AFRM 0.00%↑ hit these milestones due to continued product improvements, merchant growth, attentive risk management, and excellent capital execution.
Room for Growth 📈
Emphasizing its consumer-first approach, AFRM 0.00%↑ offers merchant-subsidized 0% and low APR deals.
After using AFRM 0.00%↑ for the first time, 60% of customers repeat use within the first year — and the time to reach the second transaction is trending steadily shorter.
AFRM 0.00%↑ has over 300K integrated active merchants.
However, the Affirm Card can be used at nearly all merchants in the U.S. and Canada.
Active customers are 18.6 million, up 19% YoY.
In 2025, AFRM 0.00%↑ plans to continue building its platform and products.
Digital wallets are estimated to have processed more than $700 billion in North America in 2023, less than 1% was captured by $AFRM.
This represents a significant expansion opportunity!
With just a $13.7 billion market cap, AFRM 0.00%↑ is a small company with plenty of room for sustainable growth!
Considering that federal funds rate hikes are behind it and the fact that it has a strong cash position of $2.1 billion, AFRM 0.00%↑ looks ready to run higher once again.
We currently hold this stock in our Gold Tier model portfolio.

#GBC100: September 3, 2024
The #GBC100 is down 2.13% today.
Created on September 22, 2022, the #GBC100 is an index/portfolio comprised of opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto-related investments.
Our goals with the #GBC100 are twofold . . .
First, we want readers to get a sense of what our investments are doing in the market, because they can sometimes perform very differently than traditional indices (like the S&P 500 or Nasdaq 100).
Second, we’d like to eventually turn the #GBC100 into an ETF.
That way, instead of owning hundreds of growth stocks, you can get exposure to ATG Digital thinking — in opportunity, growth, innovation, and crypto — all in one place.
