Affirm Rallies 6% on $104 Price Target From BofA, Sezzle Climbs 4%, PayPal Rises 3%
Installment-lending stocks advanced at midday Wednesday as Treasury yields retreated, with Affirm rallying 6% following a $104 price target from Bank of America. The move also helped pull peers higher, with Sezzle rising 4% and PayPal rising 3%.
Why it matters — AFRM watchers would note that the price-target raise and the group's strength alongside falling Treasury yields signal positive market sentiment around Affirm as the sector's largest name.
