<li>Despite its recent partnership with Amazon, we believe the negatives outweigh positives for Affirm Holdings. As such, we expect further downside risk for Affirm in the next 6-12 months.</li>
<li>Key risk factors for Affirm include slowdown in growth rate of e-commerce, over reliance on Peloton, and the addictive consumption pattern of paying for items one cannot afford.  </li>
<li>The valuations of Affirm Holdings appear to be overvalued as compared to its peers. An additional 30% downside from current levels would be about $77 per share for Affirm Holdings. </li>
