To understand the rise following the announcement, let us go back to a couple of days ago. Affirm Holdings (NASDAQ: AFRM) “buy now, pay later” stock teamed up with Amazon. And Affirm Holdings said that Amazon will let its customers use this service as a payment option during the checkout process.
Interestingly, this is a piece of greater news for Affirm Holdings as compared to Amazon. This is evident because ever since it announced its service for Amazon customers, the company’s stock was up by 43.5%, registering a profit that is 20 times as much as the e-commerce giant.
This is equally good news for Amazon as well. This service will be offered to those customers that spend more than $50.
