Affirm Holdings' stock surged to $85.01 after reporting its fiscal fourth-quarter earnings, which CEO Max Levchin described as the company's "most profitable quarter ever." Meanwhile, Klarna Group plc shares rose to $14.86, and Sezzle's stock climbed to $128.46. These gains followed a Bloomberg report that Stripe and Advent International abandoned their bid to acquire PayPal Holdings for over $50 billion, a development that sent PayPal's shares down 11% to $54.40 as the acquisition premium faded.
