Klarna (KLAR) Stock Analysis & Forecast

Sep 28 close

$12.41−0.39 (−3.0%)

Gekko Brief

AI summary

Klarna continues to face selling pressure weeks after its guidance cut, with shares down 3% to around $12.52 as the stock struggles to stabilize. Wells Fargo analyst Jason Kupferberg reiterated a Buy rating with a $21.00 price target, citing quarterly revenue of $1.04 billion and net profit of $4 million. Separately, Adyen hired Klarna's former CFO Niclas Neglén, and Pomerantz Law Firm disclosed an investigation into potential securities fraud claims tied to the revenue forecast cut and executive departures. Chrysalis Investments also completed its exit from Klarna, selling its remaining stake for approximately £34 million and planning a £25 million capital redemption to shareholders.

Klarna trades at $12.41, down 3% on the day and below both its 50-day average of $16.19 and 200-day average of $18.42, with the shorter average also under the longer one. The stock sits near its 52-week low of $12.06, far from its 52-week high of $44.75, and one-year returns stand at -70.1%. The GekkoIndex reads 74.5, placing Klarna in the Buying zone, while the current price sits 30.2% below Gekko Fair Value of $17.77.

Klarna's next earnings report is scheduled for 17 November 2026, before the market open, which falls outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity is on record. Consensus among 18 analysts includes 6 buy and 12 hold ratings, with a consensus target of $19.97. Worth noting is that after prior Buying zone readings, average 20-day returns have registered -12%.
