Mayank Tandon has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest a favorable risk-reward scenario for Block. Despite the mixed first-quarter results, which were impacted by reduced Cash App inflows and consumer spending challenges, Tandon acknowledges the company’s strategic response to these macroeconomic pressures.
The analyst notes that while Block has introduced a cautious outlook for the second quarter and fiscal year 2025, the company’s international growth and ongoing product expansions offer a significant potential for future growth. Tandon believes that the company’s outlook for the second half of 2025 is largely de-risked, providing an opportunity for growth even amidst economic uncertainties. Consequently, the current share price, which is expected to open lower, presents a compelling opportunity for investors, supporting the Buy recommendation.
