Block Q1: Making Strides, Still Winning, Lots To Come
Last week, Block reported its first-quarter results, missing GPV, total revenues, and bottom-line EPS, but that doesn't necessarily tell the entire story for Block. In Q1, Block's $29B acquisition of Afterpay went through and Afterpay contributed to Block's results for the months of February and March. Cash App continued to see strong growth, which was highlighted by its strongest month of active users transacting on average 21 times. Cash Card also grew gross profits by 50% on a year-over-year basis, while more than 1.5M people filed their taxes through Cash App.
