Block Surge shares surge 16% following strong Q3 2023 performance

Breaking News in the Crypto Universe!

Hey there, fellow digital asset investors! Block Inc (NYSE: SQ) just dropped some major bombshells in their Q3 2023 earnings report, and let me tell you, it’s like they hit the jackpot on a blockchain slot machine. The numbers are in, and they’ve exceeded everyone’s expectations, proving once again that they are the true kings of the crypto jungle.

🚀 To the Moon! 🌕

The announcement sent shockwaves through the stock market, causing the Block stock price to soar like a superhero in a cape. Picture this: their stock shot up a staggering 16% after the earnings report! By the end of the trading hours, SQ stock was up 7.37%, closing at $43.98. And because these results were dropped after the market closed, investors were treated to an extra 16% boost. Talk about a happy ending!

Financial Fireworks in Q3 2023

In the third quarter, Block witnessed an explosion of revenue, with net revenue skyrocketing by 24% to a mind-boggling $5.62 billion. That’s more moolah than Scrooge McDuck’s vault! And brace yourselves, my friends, because Bitcoin revenue also experienced a meteoric rise, reaching an impressive $2.42 billion. It’s like they struck gold in the crypto mines!

But that’s not all, folks. Gross profit climbed by 21% to an eye-popping $1.9 billion. It’s as if they stumbled upon a treasure trove of digital assets buried deep in the blockchain sea. And let’s not forget the Adjusted EBITDA of $477 million, which is a considerable increase from last year’s $327 million. Block’s payment platform, Cash App, and its point-of-sale suite, Square, showed extraordinary growth. Cash App revenue surged by 34%, hitting $3.58 billion, while Square revenue took a 12% leap to land at $1.98 billion. We’re witnessing financial fireworks, my friends!

In a letter to shareholders, the legendary Block co-founder, Jack Dorsey, expressed his gratitude and promised to keep raising the stakes. He said, and I quote, “We’ve been quiet lately because we’ve been focused. We want to thank all of you for your trust and continued belief in our work. We will work to balance that trust with accountability, some of which I hope this letter provides.” Well, Mr. Dorsey, your success speaks volumes!

Block’s Aces up Their Sleeves

Block just raised the bar and set the stage for an even brighter future. Initially projecting a full-year adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 billion, they surprised us all by revising their expectations. Now, they’re anticipating an adjusted EBITDA falling within the range of $1.66 billion to $1.68 billion. Talk about a jackpot we didn’t see coming!

But wait, there’s more! Block is now guiding for a full-year adjusted operating income soaring high, estimated to be between $205 million to $225 million. Can you believe it? This is a significant increase from their previous guidance of $25 million. Those analysts surveyed by LSEG expected full-year revenue guidance to be around $21.54 billion, and while Block didn’t provide specific numbers, they did hint at an expected adjusted operating income of $875 million for 2024. It’s like they’re turning up the heat on their financial success!

And that’s not all they’ve got up their sleeves, my friends. Brace yourselves, because Block is ready to conquer new territories and expand their empire. Their primary focus will be on their go-to-market strategy, with a special emphasis on infiltrating local restaurants and service businesses. It’s like they’re bringing the crypto revolution to every corner of the globe!

But they’re not stopping there. Oh no! Block is also flexing its innovation muscles by reallocating engineering talent towards the development and implementation of artificial intelligence technology. Talk about taking their tech game to the next level!

Join the Crypto Celebration!

So, my fellow digital investors, it’s time to raise a glass and celebrate this epic milestone in the crypto universe. Block Inc has proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with, crushing expectations and skyrocketing to the top of the financial game. With a winning combination of innovation, vision, and, of course, blockchain technology, they are paving the way for a brighter, more prosperous future.

Cheers to you, Block Inc! Here’s to many more years of success and prosperity. Keep on rocking the digital world, one blockchain at a time!

🥂🚀🎉
