Block Inc. Reports Q3 Profit Growth, But Misses Market Expectations

Nov 08, 2024

Block Inc. (ASX: SQ2), the parent company of Afterpay, posted a 19% increase in quarterly profits, reaching $US2.25 billion ($3.37 billion) in the September quarter. Despite this revenue growth, the results fell short of market expectations, leading to a 6.7% drop in share price, closing at $110.90 at the time of writing. The company’s performance reflects increased transaction volumes but has sparked investor concerns over its ability to meet future projections amidst economic uncertainties. Block’s efforts to expand its ecosystem across payments, commerce, and financial services continue, but analysts suggest closer scrutiny of costs and future growth strategies.
