Block Earnings: Good Profitability, but Growth at Square Slows
We think Block’s second-quarter results were a bit of a mixed bag with the company seeing ongoing improvement in profitability, but growth at Square came in a little weak. Overall, we think improving profitability should be the bigger priority, but in the long run the payments industry is scale-driven and volume growth has a large impact on moats. We maintain our $90 fair value estimate for the narrow-moat company. We see shares as undervalued, but highlight our Morningstar Uncertainty Rating of Very High.
