What People Are Saying About Square

  • Resilient & Sustainable Growth: Square gross profit and payment volumes are rising with signs of acceleration in 2026; Q2 2026 gross profit reached about $1.16B and GPV increased at a low‑teens rate year over year. Management also raised the full‑year outlook at the Block level, indicating momentum in which Square is contributing.
  • Market Expansion: Traction with larger, multi‑location sellers and strong international GPV growth indicate expansion beyond very small businesses. U.S. GPV also accelerated to its strongest pace since Q2 2023, complementing faster non‑U.S. growth.
  • Innovation-Driven Growth: Hardware and AI are highlighted as fast‑compounding capabilities, and Square Financial Services has begun processing acquiring volume. An expanded ISO and partner ecosystem is bringing in more new sellers and deepening product adoption.
