In other recent news, Block Inc. has made several significant announcements and received varied analyses from financial firms. The company recently reported that its subsidiary, Square Financial Services Inc., received approval from the FDIC to expand consumer loan services through its Cash App Borrow feature. Despite this development, BTIG maintained a Sell rating with a $110 price target, citing operational flexibility but cautioning about the stock’s valuation. Meanwhile, BMO Capital Markets and Keefe, Bruyette & Woods both reiterated their Outperform ratings, with price targets of $89 and $80 respectively, following Block’s announcement of layoffs affecting approximately 8% of its workforce. These layoffs are expected to result in substantial cost savings, potentially boosting adjusted operating income by 2025.

KeyBanc Capital Markets adjusted its outlook by reducing Block’s price target to $85, while maintaining an Overweight rating, due to a softer revenue outlook for small and medium-sized businesses. In a strategic move, Block launched Cash App Afterpay, merging Cash App’s user base with Afterpay’s Buy Now, Pay Later services to offer expanded payment options. This integration is expected to enhance customer experience and drive growth in BNPL options in the U.S. The various ratings and strategic developments indicate a complex landscape for Block Inc., with analysts expressing mixed sentiments about its future growth and market position.
