Block: Another Crypto Disappointment
Block's Q2 2025 earnings missed expectations, with revenue and EPS shortfalls driven by declining and unprofitable bitcoin trading. Management continues to focus on bitcoin as a payment tool, with no significant crypto expansion or innovation beyond bitcoin, disappointing given industry trends. Core businesses Square and Cash App delivered solid gross profit growth, but overall revenue quality is diluted by high transaction-related costs.

Block's Inflection Needs Convincing Outperformance - Second Chance At Growth
XYZ's second chance of renewed growth is seemingly here, as observed in the robust FQ2'25 performance and the raised FY2025 guidance, after the painful FQ1'25 meltdown. Much of the tailwinds are naturally attributed to the Cash App's improved monetization and the higher engagement rates, thanks to their increased network density. This is on top of Square's ongoing premiumization as they increase their exposure to the upmarket sellers, aided by the expanding adoption in the international markets.
