Block Posts 3Q25 Revenue of $6.12B and Hikes FY25 Guidance
Block posted 3Q25 revenue of $6.12B, up 2.33% year-over-year, driven by a 23% increase in subscription and services and 9% transaction growth despite bitcoin weakness. It has twice increased FY2025 guidance, outlined double-digit growth and improved leverage targets for 2028, and trades at a forward P/E of 28.9x.
1. Block Sets Ambitious 2028 Growth Targets
In its latest strategic update, Block unveiled targets for fiscal 2028 that imply double-digit annual revenue growth and substantial operating leverage improvements. Management has already raised full-year 2025 guidance twice, citing stronger-than-expected adoption of its Seller and Cash App ecosystems. The company’s forward P/E multiple stands at 28.9x, with a three-year PEG of 0.80x, reflecting investor confidence in long-term earnings acceleration. Analysts note that achieving these targets requires near-perfect execution on product rollouts, international expansion and cost synergies, but if met could translate into well over 100% upside from current levels.
2. Network Expansion and Neighborhoods Drive Q3 Growth
In the third quarter of 2025, Block delivered revenue of $6.12 billion, up 2.33% year-over-year. Subscription and services revenues surged 23%, driven by new Cash App premium features and increased usage of Square’s seller subscription plans, while transaction revenues climbed 9% despite ongoing bitcoin volatility. The rollout of Cash App network expansion initiatives—adding over 1.5 million new peer connections—and the launch of Neighborhoods, a localized commerce discovery tool, are expected to further boost engagement and gross profit margins. Concurrent investments in automation across payment hardware production have already begun to lower unit costs, setting the stage for improved profitability in 2026.
