Shares in Jack Dorsey’s Block Inc. plummeted in after-hours trading on Thursday, declining almost 12% after the company’s third-quarter earnings failed to meet analyst expectations. The crypto-friendly fintech firm reported earnings per share of 54 cents for Q3, a 14% shortfall compared to the analyst consensus of 63 cents. Simultaneously, Q3 revenues reached $6.11 billion, representing a 2.3% year-over-year increase, but falling short of the anticipated $6.33 billion. Block Inc. (XYZ) shares tumbled 11.53% in after-hours trading to $70.93, following a 3.7% decrease to $62.75 by the end of the regular trading day. This adds to Block's ongoing stock price decline, with shares down 18.24% year-to-date in 2025. Despite the market's negative reaction, some metrics from Block's Q3 results painted a positive picture of the company's performance. The firm reported an 18% year-over-year increase in gross profit, reaching $2.66 billion. Block anticipates total profits of $10.24 billion for 2025, reflecting a projected 15% annual increase.
