Pulling SEC filings + quote and writing the call…

Block, Inc.
Next earnings Aug 5, 2026 (after close) · consensus $0.88 EPS, $6.59B rev
Last earnings -1.0% on 2026-05-07
Headline EPS collapse is a 2024 tax-mirage; gross profit +17% and op income +91% reveal a real margin turnaround.
Gross profit $10.4B · FY2025
The fundamentals carry the rating, but the price is rich (~80% above our fair-value estimate) — a quality-at-a-price call. The case rests on the business, not the entry; patient buyers may wait for a pullback.
Block's scary-looking numbers are mostly optical. Net income fell 54.9% to $1.31B and diluted EPS dropped to $2.10, but the 10-K is explicit that 2024 net income carried a $1.9B benefit from releasing a deferred-tax valuation allowance plus a $420.9M bitcoin remeasurement gain, versus a $55.9M bitcoin loss in 2025. Strip those out and the underlying engine accelerated: gross profit rose 16.5% to $10.4B, operating income nearly doubled (+91.5%) to $1.71B, and operating cash flow jumped 51.1% to $2.58B. Revenue was flat (+0.3%) only because it is inflated by low-margin bitcoin transaction volume; gross profit is the honest top line, and it grew double digits — Cash App gross profit +21% (Cash App Borrow), Square +9% (Square Loans). Adjusted EBITDA reached $3.5B (+14%).
The forward catalyst is aggressive cost discipline. Management announced a Workforce Plan in February 2026 to cut headcount by more than 40%, substantially complete by Q2 2026, and stated it plans to 'operate at this smaller size' leaning on AI automation and centralization. Against gross profit already compounding mid-teens, a structural cost reset points to meaningful operating-margin expansion from the current 7.1% — the bull case for a re-rating of depressed GAAP earnings.
