Context and risks
Affirm's business is highly sensitive to interest rates: its margin depends on the funding cost of its loan portfolio. The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) makes its funding more expensive and compresses its net interest margin, a direct risk to future profitability.

Verdict: Hold; the strength of growth and profitability offsets the risk of margin compression from higher funding costs, but the high-rate environment limits upside potential.
Main risk: The main risk is the sensitivity of its net interest margin to funding costs: with 10-year yields at 5.17% and rising, Affirm could see profitability compress if it cannot pass on higher capital costs to consumers.
