Block raises FY2026 guidance across all metrics after 25% gross profit growth and record 27% AOI margin in Q2, with Cash App and Square both accelerating.

Block delivered record profitability in Q2 2026 — 25% gross profit growth, 27% adjusted operating income margin, and 65% adjusted diluted EPS growth year-over-year — and raised full-year gross profit guidance to $12.51 billion (+21% YoY), AOI to $3.47 billion (28% margin), and EPS growth to 70%. The acceleration is broad-based: Square GPV grew 13% globally with U.S. GPV at its strongest rate since Q2 2023, Cash App gross profit grew 31%, and Neighborhoods crossed $1 billion in annualized seller GPV in June. Square Financial Services (SFS) is expanding into deposit-taking and acquiring sponsorship, representing a structural shift in Block's cost of capital and processing economics that is still early but strategically significant.

We continue to invest in capabilities that enhance interoperability and efficiency, including embedded financial services, automation, and open protocols such as Bitcoin. Our two reportable segments are Square and Cash App, which reflects our two primary ecosystems and the manner in which the Company's chief operating decision maker reviews and assesses performance. We have realigned our revenue categories to better reflect the evolution of our company, identifying three reportable revenue categories: Commerce Enablement, Financial Solutions, and the Bitcoin Ecosystem.
