Earlier on November 20, UBS analyst Timothy Chiodo lowered the firm’s price target on Klarna to $46 from $48 and kept a Buy rating on the shares. This sentiment came out when Klarna showed strong Q3 2025 results, with both Gross Merchandise Volume/GMV and revenue growing by more than 20% year-over-year and exceeding expectations due to factors like the expansion of the merchant network, the forging of key retail partnerships, successful Payment Service Provider/PSPs integrations, and the rapid adoption of the Klarna Card.

In the quarter, Klarna achieved a record total revenue of $903 million, while GMV grew to $32.7 billion. US revenue particularly accelerated to 51% growth year-on-year, and US GMV grew 43%. For the upcoming Q4, Klarna is expecting to see above 30% revenue growth. A major contributor to the growth acceleration is the fair financing product, which grew over 139% in volume.
