What Happened?
Klarna (KLAR) stock surged 9% on Friday after the company’s chairman, Michael Moritz, spent $50 million buying shares in the open market.
Between March 3 and March 11, Moritz picked up more than 3.47 million shares at prices ranging from $13.18 to $16.11.
The purchases were made through his family foundation, Crankstart.
When a chairman buys $50 million of stock with his own money, the market notices.
It’s a direct signal that someone with deep knowledge of the business thinks the stock is undervalued.
The timing matters too.
Klarna stock had been under pressure after a disappointing full-year earnings report.
The company swung to a net loss of $273 million in 2025, down from a $21 million profit in 2024.
That reversal rattled investors, even though revenue climbed 25% to $3.5 billion.

What the Market Is Telling Us About Klarna Stock
The losses are real, but the reason behind them is important to understand.
Klarna is growing its lending business fast, especially its Fair Financing product in the U.S. When a lender grows quickly, accounting rules require it to book expected credit losses upfront, before the interest income comes in.
That creates a short-term drag on profits even when the underlying loans are performing well.
In Q4 alone,
- revenue jumped 38% to $1.08 billion.
- Active consumers hit 118 million, up 28% year-over-year.
- And the company’s banking customers, those using deposits, the Klarna card, and financing products, now number 15.8 million, more than doubling year-over-year.
For Q1 2026,
- Klarna is guiding for quarterly revenue between $900 million and $980 million.
- That’s a wide range, but the top end would be a good acceleration.
Klarna stock was already recovering from post-earnings weakness when the Moritz purchase hit regulatory filings.
The combination of strong revenue momentum and a high-profile insider bet pushed shares sharply higher.
The market is treating this as a vote of confidence that the profitability headwinds are temporary, not structural.
