Analysts are raising price targets for Block (XYZ) following strong first-quarter results. Canaccord increased its target to $85, while Goldman Sachs raised theirs to $95, both reiterating Buy ratings. These adjustments reflect positive outcomes from the company's strategic focus and operational improvements, including beats in Square and Cash App gross profit and lower operating expenses. Block's stock has seen significant appreciation, driven by robust Cash App growth and expanding momentum in its Buy Now, Pay Later and lending services. This performance has led management to elevate its full-year gross profit outlook, signaling a sustained growth trajectory. Investors should watch for Block's strategic go-to-market investments in high-ROI areas as the company aims for mid-teens gross profit growth by the end of 2026.
