Block stock has caught fresh attention from Wall Street analysts following a sharp pullback. The fintech company saw multiple firms reaffirm their positive outlook despite recent volatility.

On November 17, Truist Securities upgraded Block to Buy from Hold. The firm raised its price target to $68 from $67. The move came after the stock dropped more than 20% in recent months.

Block, Inc., XYZ

Truist pointed to concerns about credit risks tied to Block’s Cash App Borrowing product. This lending feature has grown rapidly. Some investors worry about potential defaults as the economy faces headwinds.

The research firm sees the selloff as overdone. Truist believes Block’s Square segment shows strong momentum. This business serves merchants with point-of-sale systems and payment processing tools.

Truist boosted its 2026 earnings forecast for Block. The firm now expects adjusted earnings of $3.28 per share. That’s slightly above the consensus estimate of $3.25 per share.

Analyst Confidence Across the Board

William Blair analyst Andrew Jeffrey maintained his Buy rating the same day. He cited strong Q3 performance and guidance for Q4 that points to continued acceleration.

Jeffrey highlighted Block’s strategic focus on consumer liquidity. He expects the positive trends to keep rolling through the coming quarters.

TD Cowen also weighed in with a Buy rating. The firm set a $91 price target on the stock. TD Cowen views Block as oversold following its reaction to third-quarter earnings.

The firm expects Block to deliver 2026 guidance that meets market expectations. Management is also expected to provide new medium-term financial projections.

Q3 Results Show Mixed Performance

Block reported Q3 2025 results on November 6. Total revenue climbed 2.3% year-over-year to $6.11 billion. The previous year’s Q3 revenue stood at $5.98 billion.

Bitcoin revenue fell 19% to $1.97 billion from $2.43 billion. This decline held back overall revenue growth. All other revenue segments posted gains during the quarter.

Cash App and Square both showed revenue acceleration. The company maintained stable adjusted EBITDA margins. Operational efficiency gains offset new investments in the platform.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share reached $0.54. That compared to $0.53 in the year-ago quarter. The results came as the company faced broader economic challenges.

Block’s volume growth stood out during the quarter. The company scaled its platform while keeping momentum across multiple business lines. Management continues investing in both consumer and merchant services.

The company operates Square point-of-sale systems for businesses. Its Cash App serves consumers with digital payment tools. Block also offers Bitcoin products and self-custody infrastructure for cryptocurrency users.
