SQ Stock Recent News

XYZ remains a top pick due to its net cash balance sheet, GAAP profitability, and aggressive share repurchases despite recent growth concerns. Management's conservative guidance and increased focus on lending have pressured sentiment. Recent updates show improving Cash App trends and innovation efforts, suggesting potential for growth acceleration in the coming quarters.

The fintech sector is evolving fast, driven by innovation in digital payments, credit underwriting, and user experience. Two major players — Block, Inc. XYZ and Upstart Holdings UPST — stand out for their disruptive business models and strategic growth initiatives.

Jefferies sees winners and losers as the legislation reshapes the industry.

Block (XYZ 1.42%) stock, when it was formerly Square, was a market darling that soared quickly and was seen as the face of the fintech revolution. But it's made a few missteps, earning severe market pessimism.

Jim Cramer discusses Block after Evercore upgraded the fintech stock to 'outperform' from 'in line.'

C3 Metals Inc (TSX-V:CCCM, OTC:CARCF) said it has launched a 14-hole, 2,500-metre diamond drilling program at its 50%-owned Super Block Project in central Jamaica. The new program is targeting a five-kilometre-long gold trend that includes the past-producing Pennants Gold Mine.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2025) - C3 Metals Inc. (TSXV: CCCM) (OTCQB: CUAUF) ("C3 Metals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced an initial 14 diamond drill hole, 2,500m program on its 50%-owned Super Block Project, a joint venture with Geophysx Jamaica Limited ("Geophysx"); see press release dated March 1, 2024 (Figure 1). The program is designed to test multiple epithermal gold targets over a 5km strike extent, where a strong gold geochemical anomaly coincides with radiometric (potassium) highs.

Does your portfolio need a bit more exposure to the fintech space? There are plenty of great options out there, although payment technology platform Block (XYZ -0.45%) and online banking outfit SoFi Technologies (SOFI 1.02%) are a couple of investors' favorites right now.

Block's post-earnings selloff was overdone - recent product launches and its bitcoin business justify the stock's rapid recovery. Square's new biannual product launch cadence, the first of which included Square Handheld and a Square AI teaser, positions the company to reignite Square segment growth. AI integration into Square POS leverages proprietary data and distribution, offering robust upselling potential and should drive strong future subscription and services revenue.

XYZ's growing merchant network and Cash App tools boost optimism, but the stock still lags amid weak earnings outlook and valuation concerns.
