Did XYZ Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results
Block delivered a mixed but strategically charged Q4 2025, posting adjusted EPS of $0.65 against a consensus estimate of $0.64, a beat of 1.67%, while revenue of $6.25 billion came in just shy of the $6.34 billion estimate, a miss of 1.41%, though st… Read more Block delivered a mixed but strategically charged Q4 2025, posting adjusted EPS of $0.65 against a consensus estimate of $0.64, a beat of 1.67%, while revenue of $6.25 billion came in just shy of the $6.34 billion estimate, a miss of 1.41%, though still up 3.6% year over year. The headline story, however, was less about the top line and more about the company's sweeping announcement that it would cut its workforce by over 40%, reducing headcount from more than 10,000 to under 6,000, framing the move as a proactive bet on AI rather than a distress signal. Underneath the restructuring noise, the business showed genuine acceleration, with gross profit growing 24% year over year and Cash App gross profit surging 33%, driven by explosive consumer lending growth. Raymond James upgraded the stock following the results. Looking ahead, Block raised its 2026 guidance to $12.20 billion in gross profit and $3.66 in adjusted diluted EPS, with the full cost benefits from the workforce reduction expected to materialize in the second half of the year.
