What the Market Is Telling Us About Block Stock
Truist analyst Matthew Coad said he had been cautious on Block stock heading into the year.
- His concern was that a growing mix of lending-related revenue could squeeze margins and pressure the stock’s valuation. He now sees that picture changing.
- The large workforce reduction should meaningfully cut costs.
- Block stock has also de-rated sharply, now trading at just 12 times his 2027 EPS estimate.
- Coad sees upside to both margins and capital returns as free cash flow improves.
- He also pointed to strong business momentum across all three of Block’s key segments.
- Square saw new volume added grow 27% year over year in Q4.
- Cash App showed improving user growth.
- And Proto, the Bitcoin mining business, is taking meaningful market share after launching in late 2025.
Rothschild’s upgrade tells a different story.
- Analysts Fahed Kunwar and Ellie Hall had been bearish for years, citing balance sheet concerns and payments falling behind peers.
- They say both of those concerns have now played out. At 13 times 2027 GAAP earnings, they see the stock fairly valued.
- They also raised their estimates by 28% to 34%, pointing to stronger Cash App Borrow loan growth and AI-driven cost savings.
The broader analyst community largely agrees. Wall Street analysts rate Block stock as a Buy on average.
