Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AFRM) To Lay off 19% Workforce

Buy-now-pay-later lending firm, Affirm Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AFRM) plunges around 20% in pre session on Thursday as the company announces a restructuring plan that will result in the layoff of approximately 500 employees, or approximately 19% of its workforce, sending the company’s shares down approximately 18% in aftermarket trade.

The company, which was founded in 2012, also announced the discontinuation of several initiatives, including Affirm Crypto. Affirm, based in San Francisco, California, anticipates total restructuring costs of $35 million to $39 million.

Affirm Holdings announced on Wednesday that it will lay off 500 employees, or 19% of its workforce. It is the latest company to lay off workers as corporate restructuring continues. After consumer spending slowed and interest rates rose over the last three quarters, the buy now, pay later company said it had built a larger team than it could support and that it needed to cut operating expenses.
