Block said Wednesday that it expects gross profit to increase in the mid-teens annually for the next three years, reaching about $15.8 billion in 2028.
At the payment company’s first investor day event since 2022, Block unveiled a three-year financial outlook. The announcements land as Wall Street has turned skeptical on Block’s prospects, pushing the stock down by more than 30% in 2025, while major indexes have notched solid gains.
Block shares were initially halted around the time of the announcement and then jumped 9% when trading resumed.
The fresh guidance also comes two weeks after Block reported quarterly results, missing revenue estimates for a sixth straight time. Block has been diversifying away from its point-of-sale business, which has become increasingly crowded, launching more services tied to Cash App and offering artificial intelligence tools to sellers.
