Block's shares moved sharply this week after third-quarter earnings beat estimates, with results driven by Cash App lending growth and stronger Square payment volumes. Net income rose to $566 million from $462 million a year earlier, and Cash App's gross profit grew 27% year-on-year, prompting the company to raise its full-year gross profit forecast to $12.63 billion. Morgan Stanley raised its price target to $82 from $80 while maintaining an Equalweight rating, citing execution and a positive 2027 outlook. Separately, Block disclosed it expects to pay $764 million to settle a Justice Department money-laundering probe tied to Cash App compliance controls.
Block (XYZ) closed at $87.63, up 15.3%, sitting above both its 50-day average of $77.88 and 200-day average of $71.37, with the 50-day above the 200-day. The stock trades near its 52-week high of $88.51, well above its 52-week low of $48.21. The GekkoIndex reads 43.5, placing it in the Distribution zone, down 17.7 over five days. Price sits 24.2% above Gekko Fair Value of $70.56.
