Block, Inc. announced that its 2025 Investor Day will take place in San Francisco on November 19 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, during which senior leadership will present full‑year 2026 financial guidance and a three‑year outlook. The company also disclosed a $5 billion increase to its existing stock repurchase program, raising the total authorized amount to $9 billion and leaving $1.1 billion of the prior $4 billion authorization still available for future buybacks.
The buyback expansion signals management’s confidence in Block’s balance sheet and the perceived undervaluation of its shares. By adding $5 billion to the program, Block aims to return capital to shareholders while maintaining flexibility to invest in growth initiatives such as its expanding Cash App and Square payment services.
Block’s Q3 2025 earnings report showed a miss on adjusted earnings per share, with 54 cents versus the consensus estimate of 63 cents, and revenue of $6.11 billion versus the $6.34 billion estimate. Revenue was up 2.3 % year‑over‑year, driven by a 10.7 % increase in Square transaction revenues and a 22.6 % rise in subscription and services revenue, while Cash App transaction revenues fell 19.8 % and Bitcoin‑related revenue declined 19 % YoY. The earnings miss was largely attributable to weaker Cash App performance and higher operating costs, offsetting gains in other segments.
In its guidance, Block raised its full‑year 2026 revenue outlook and maintained a positive trajectory for operating income, reflecting confidence in continued demand for its payment and financial services platforms. The company also outlined a three‑year outlook that projects incremental growth in both Square and Cash App, supported by strategic investments in data‑center infrastructure and AI‑driven payment solutions.
The announcement of the expanded buyback program and the upcoming Investor Day underscores Block’s dual focus on shareholder returns and long‑term growth. By signaling confidence in its valuation and providing clearer guidance on future performance, Block aims to reinforce investor confidence amid a competitive fintech landscape and ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty.
