Wolfe Research Downgrades Klarna (KLAR) to Peerperform

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 04:15:31 -0400

(Updated - August 25, 2026 4:15 AM EDT)

Wolfe Research analyst Darrin Peller downgraded Klarna (NYSE: KLAR) from Outperform to Peerperform.

The analyst comments: “While 2Q results were strong and we remain constructive on the rollout of the Klarna Card, PSP partnerships, and key merchant wins (notably Apple Upgrade), we believe investors may remain on the sidelines near-term. Management credibility had improved following 1Q results, but the materially reduced FY GMV outlook has led to further questions on visibility. Additionally, KLAR’s announced CFO transition and the fair value accounting change (which leads to meaningful moving parts in the model) will likely need

UBS Downgrades Klarna (KLAR) to Neutral

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 09:36:22 -0400

UBS analyst Timothy Chiodo downgraded Klarna (NYSE: KLAR) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $16.00 (from $23.00).

The analyst comments: "Alongside updating for Q2 2026 results, we downgrade shares of KLAR to Neutral. While we continue to believe that Klarna has a number of company specific positives (e.g., new distribution partnerships [including Apple], ramping card programs, a nascent US Fair Financing business, etc.), and operates in an attractive global end market, we find it challenging to recommend the shares given two main factors: First, the magnitude of the 2H 2026 GMV guidance reduction (~$3.4b ex-FX at the high

Klarna (KLAR) Reiterated at Market Perform by Citizens Amid Volume Headwinds

Fri, 21 Aug 2026 04:15:52 -0400

Citizens analyst David Scharf reiterated a Market Perform rating on Klarna (NYSE: KLAR).

The analyst commented, "KLAR’s stock has traded down 28% since the release of results before the market open on Tuesday (and 32% since our July 2 initiation vs. S&P 500 +2%) as news of critical management departures compounded the headwinds from reduced second-half volume and operating income guidance. To be fair, the company demonstrated improved operating leverage in 2Q and validated its decision to increase investment spending in 2H to support the rollout of five new large partnerships. Yet, the combination of volume headwinds in the company's largest

Klarna shares face pressure as JPMorgan cuts rating on weaker outlook

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:29:37 -0400

Investing.com -- Klarna’s second-quarter results beat expectations, but a weaker second-half outlook, deteriorating European consumer spending and planned management departures have raised concerns over the fintech company’s growth visibility, J.P. Morgan said on Wednesday.

The payments company reported second-quarter gross merchandise volume (GMV) of $36.6 billion, up 18% from a year earlier, while revenue rose 25% on a foreign-exchange-neutral basis to $1.04 billion. Adjusted operating profit reached $91 million, well above J.P. Morgan’s $46 million estimate and the company’s guidance of $30 million to $50 million.

Despite the strong quarter, J.P. Morgan cut its rating on the company to Neutral from Overweight and
