Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Financial PerformanceSQ’s combination of top-line growth and profitability is underappreciated, suggesting potential for share outperformance.
Growth PotentialSQ has announced a number of distribution partnerships, including U.S. Foods, PFG, and Sysco in the restaurant space, which could unlock ~$250bn+ in GPV potential.
ValuationThe stock is considered inexpensive compared to its growth potential, trading at lower multiples than peers despite faster growth.
Bears Say
Bitcoin Mining ConcernsSpeaker commentary raises questions around the demand potential for Block (SQ)'s Bitcoin mining hardware, as more new facilities will be going toward building HPC datacenters rather than Bitcoin mining.
Regulatory IssuesThe CFPB ordered Block to pay a penalty citing fraud and weak security protocols on Cash App, saying Block deprived Cash App users of meaningful and effective customer service.
User Growth ChallengesCash App has shown no growth in active users for three consecutive quarters, and expectations for future growth might not align with recent trends.
