By: TrendSpider | January 26, 2025

• Block, formerly Square, changed its ticker to XYZ on January 21, 2025, reflecting its diverse ecosystem, including Cash App, Afterpay, and TIDAL. The daily chart shows XYZ forming a bull flag after reclaiming the 50-day EMA, supported by a bullish MACD cross. Price has since consolidated on a large volume shelf, threatening a breakout. A measured move puts the price in the neighborhood of $120/share—roughly 30% above Friday’s close of $88.

US state regulators fine Block Inc $80 million for insufficient money laundering controls
By: Investing | January 15, 2025

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Block Inc has agreed to pay a fine of $80 million to a group of 48 state financial regulators after the agencies determined the company had insufficient policies for policing money laundering through its mobile payment service, Cash App.

The multi-statement settlement would also see the fintech firm bring in an independent consultant to review its Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering program, and report back to the states on any deficiencies. The company has also agreed to take corrective actions internally, according to the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, which announced the settlement.

In a statement, a Block spokesperson said the issues were principally related to Cash App's prior compliance program, and the company has significantly increased investment in compliance and risk management.

"We share our regulators’ commitment to addressing industry challenges and will continue to invest across our operations to help promote a safe and healthy fintech ecosystem," the spokesperson said.

Block's mobile payment platform, Cash App, had 56 million monthly users as of December 2023, according to recent public filings. The app saw over $248 billion in inflows in 2023.

The state regulators did not offer specifics about the shortcomings, but simply said they had identified issues with the company's compliance program.

Block $SQ - Market Movers
By: TrendSpider | December 22, 2024

• SQ is showing a notable shift in momentum after breaking through and retesting a resistance level that has capped its price for over two and a half years. Despite trading 69% below its 2021 ATHs, SQ has quietly delivered nine consecutive quarters of revenue growth, which now sit at record levels. If the retest holds, SQ looks ripe to transition into a Stage 2 uptrend as it outperforms the majority of the S&P500 on a quarterly basis.

Bull of the Day: Block (SQ)
By: Zacks Investment Research | July 5, 2024

With the Q2 earnings season set to ramp up following the fourth of July holiday, Block (SQ) is a tech stock that looks poised for a rebound leading up to its quarterly results in early August.

The innovative provider of point of sales solutions (POS) appears to be overlooked as SQ has now fallen -26% from its 52-week high of $87 a share in March.

Still, the expansive growth Block was able to display in Q1 is thought to have continued and strong financial results can of course lead to upward momentum for stocks.

Keeping this scenario in mind, Block’s stock currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and is the Bull of the Day.

Q2 Sneak Preview

Investors are always looking for stocks that are expected to post robust quarterly growth and improved financial fundamentals and Block is on this radar.

Another quarter of double-digit top and bottom-line growth appears to be in the cards with Q2 sales projected to rise 13% to $6.29 billion and EPS projections of $0.75 would reflect a 92% increase from $0.29 a share in the comparative quarter.

Block is becoming a staple of the new American economy

Notably, Cash app's popularity has been the primarily catalyst to Block’s expansion along with hardware POS offerings such as its patented Square Reader machines with the company having a comprehensive commerce suite that fuels entrepreneurship by helping sellers grow their businesses.

CEO Jack Dorsey has also strived for other routes to keep up Block’s relevance and expansion from acquiring hip-hop mogul Jay-Z’s tidal music platform in 2021 to offering crypto-related services. In addition to develping a full bitcoin mining system Block provides a Bitcoin Hardware Wallet which offers storage for bitcoin holders.

Loosely speaking, Block may be a more affordable option for investors seeking exposure to bitcoin than Coinbase (COIN Quick QuoteCOIN - Free Report) while being a safter choice in regards to other crypto miners such as Marathon Digital (MARA Quick QuoteMARA - Free Report) or Riot Platforms (RIOT Quick QuoteRIOT - Free Report) . That notion is only magnified when considering Block’s diverse business operations along with the fact that the price of Bitcoin has soared in the last year and currently sits over $60,000.

Growth Trajectory

Overall, Blocks total sales are projected to increase 15% in fiscal 2024 and are slated to expand another 12% in FY25 to $28.22 billion. More impressive, annual earnings are now expected to soar 73% this year to $3.11 per share versus $1.80 a share in 2023. Plus, FY25 EPS is projected to climb another 30% to $4.04.

Better still, Block’s stock is trading at 20.7X forward earnings and at 1.7X sales which are much more reasonable valuations than the stretched premiums it has commanded in the past.



Bottom Line

Block is once again becoming one of the most appealing business services companies to invest in at the moment. While it may be too soon to call Block’s stock an absolute steal at current levels, a sharp rebound looks justified considering the company’s attractive growth trajectory and innovative business offerings.

Block (SQ) Stock Higher on Quarterly Beat, Forecast
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | May 3, 2024

• The fintech company plans to buy more Bitcoin (BTC)

• Analysts and options traders are responding to the results

Fintech stock Block Inc (NYSE:SQ) is up 3.8% to trade at $72.98 at last check, after the company announced better-than-expected first-quarter earnings of 85 cents per share on $5.96 billion in revenue. In addition, Block revealed plans to buy more Bitcoin (BTC) and hiked its annual forecast.

Needham raised its priced target to $105 following the results, and TD Cowen adjusted up to $92, both of which are healthy premiums to SQ's current perch. The majority of analysts are bullish on the equity, with 29 of 37 in coverage recommending a "buy" or "strong buy."

Options traders are piling on as well, with 41,000 calls and 23,000 puts exchanged so far -- overall volume that is six times the intraday average amount. The most popular contract is the weekly 5/3 75-strike call.

On the charts, today's pop is losing steam at Block stock's 30-day moving average -- a trendline that acted as resistance for most of April. Nevertheless, the equity still boasts a more than 24% year-over-year lead, and added roughly 53% during the past six months.

Market Chatter: Block Under Probe for Alleged Compliance Malpractices
10:46:23 AM ET, 05/01/2024 - MT Newswires

10:46 AM EDT, 05/01/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Block (SQ) is said to be under probe for alleged compliance lapses at its Square and Cash App units, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing two unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

NBC said prosecutors from the Southern District of New York are looking into the company's documents and internal practices after a former employee disclosed certain malpractices within the group. According to the former employee, Block collected insufficient information for Square and Cash App customers' risk assessment, Square processed thousands of transactions involving countries with economic sanctions, and Block processed cryptocurrency transactions for terrorist groups.

The former employee provided about 100 pages of supporting documents to NBC and said Block did not correct the processes when informed of the transactions, the report added. NBC said a second source familiar with the company's practices and monitoring programs backed the former employee's allegations.

According to NBC, a Block spokeswoman said the company voluntarily reported the transactions described by the former employee to the Office of Foreign Assets Control under the US Treasury and that the company maintains a "responsible and extensive compliance program."

Block did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
