height=\"auto\"><span>shulz/E+ via Getty Images</span></p>\n<p>We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times. That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.</p>\n<p>Q2 earnings were solid</p>\n<p>Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.</p>\n<p>Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit</p>\n<p>Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.</p>\n<p>That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.</p>\n<p>Cash App and Bitcoin</p>\n<p>The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.</p>\n<p>The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business</p>\n<p>Small business is coming back</p>\n<p>One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.</p>\n<p>Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining</p>\n<p>We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.</p>\n<p><b>Nice to see EPS growing</b></p>\n<p>Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.</p>\n<p>A new acquisition, pricey but interesting</p>\n<p>In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.</p>\n<p><b>Take home</b></p>\n<p>Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.</p>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-03 14:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://seekingalpha.com/article/4444025-square-killing-it><strong>seekingalpha</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Summary\n\nQ2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.\nA sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.\nBitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.\nCash app still strong as ...</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4444025-square-killing-it\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{},"source_url":"https://seekingalpha.com/article/4444025-square-killing-it","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1105546206","content_text":"Summary\n\nQ2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.\nA sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.\nBitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.\nCash app still strong as small business returns.\nShares are going much higher.\n\nshulz/E+ via Getty Images\nWe love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times.

However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":480,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":805231550,"gmtCreate":1627882185870,"gmtModify":1633755622491,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/805231550","repostId":"1170689665","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1170689665","kind":"news","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Providing stock market headlines, business news, financials and earnings ","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Tiger Newspress","id":"1079075236","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba"},"pubTimestamp":1627857540,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1170689665?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-02 06:39","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Alibaba,Uber, DraftKings, GM, Roku, EA, ViacomCBS, and Other Stocks for Investors to Watch This Week","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1170689665","media":"Tiger Newspress","summary":"The parade of second-quarter results continues this week.

The last time Singapore breached this level was in July 2018, during the initial phases of the US-China trade war.</p>\n<p>“However, any weakness in the SGD should be capped by the economy being in a much more resilient position than other Asian markets, due to the fast progress in vaccinating the population,” it added. “This puts Singapore in a much more resilient position compared to most other Asian economies and the SGD could benefit from some degree of safe-haven flows from elsewhere in the region as the year progresses, limiting prospects for further depreciation beyond our identified trading range.”</p>\n<p>For the long term, Fitch expects a strong recovery in exports to support the currency in 2022, but balanced by the risk of a potentially more hawkish US Fed if above-2% target inflation persists.</p>\n<p>Fitch Solutions identified as a key risk the possibility of a COVID-19 variant that can bypass existing vaccines, which could force Singapore to implement further lockdowns.</p>","source":"lsy1618986048053","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

The last time Singapore breached this level was in July 2018, during the initial phases of the US-China trade war.\n“However, any weakness in the SGD should be capped by the economy being in a much more resilient position than other Asian markets, due to the fast progress in vaccinating the population,” it added. “This puts Singapore in a much more resilient position compared to most other Asian economies and the SGD could benefit from some degree of safe-haven flows from elsewhere in the region as the year progresses, limiting prospects for further depreciation beyond our identified trading range.”\nFor the long term, Fitch expects a strong recovery in exports to support the currency in 2022, but balanced by the risk of a potentially more hawkish US Fed if above-2% target inflation persists.\nFitch Solutions identified as a key risk the possibility of a COVID-19 variant that can bypass existing vaccines, which could force Singapore to implement further lockdowns.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":358,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":801121262,"gmtCreate":1627489033556,"gmtModify":1633764480597,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!!!!&nbsp;","listText":"Wow!!!!&nbsp;","text":"Wow!!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/801121262","repostId":"1102922788","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1102922788","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627479526,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1102922788?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-28 21:38","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Fed Meeting Will Focus on Tapering Timeline.","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1102922788","media":"The Wall Street Journal","summary":"Officials are looking to forge consensus on how and when to eventually reduce their asset purchases\n","content":"<p>Officials are looking to forge consensus on how and when to eventually reduce their asset purchases</p>\n<p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b506b5e7aef3659e57731a13007a3078\" tg-width=\"1290\" tg-height=\"859\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, who spoke at a Senate committee hearing earlier this month, has promised ample notice before reducing purchases of securities.</span></p>\n<p>Federal Reserve officials are set to resume deliberations Wednesday about how and when to begin&nbsp;paring their asset purchases&nbsp;amid an economic rebound clouded by supply-chain bottlenecks and rising Covid-19 cases.</p>\n<p>The central bank at the end of last year said it would continue to purchase $120 billion in Treasurys and mortgage-backed securities monthly until officials deemed they had achieved “substantial further progress” toward their goals of low unemployment and inflation reaching their 2% goal.</p>\n<p>The Fed will release its policy statement at 2 p.m. EDT.

Analysts had expected 43.1% growth in Azure, according to consensus data from Visible Alpha.</p>\n<p>“It’s a very impressive report from Microsoft with the company easily surpassing expectations on the performance of almost all business units,” said Haris Anwar, senior analyst at Investing.com.</p>\n<p>He noted Azure’s growth and strong demand for the company’s legacy Office and software products.</p>\n<p>“That said, Microsoft’s stock has made a big run since the beginning of the pandemic, and is trading at rich multiples,” Anwar said. “After such a powerful rally, its shares may take a breather, especially when investors are still unclear how the demand scenario will evolve in the post-pandemic environment.”</p>\n<p>Microsoft’s market capitalization stands at nearly $2.2 trillion, fueling concerns among some analysts that it may be overvalued. The stock has climbed nearly 30% so far this year, compared with 18% for the overall S&amp;P 500 Index, according to Refinitiv Eikon data based on Monday’s closing price.</p>\n<p>Revenue from personal computing, which includes Windows software and Xbox gaming consoles, rose 9% to $14.1 billion.</p>\n<p>But Xbox content and services revenue dipped, suggesting that a pandemic-fueled gaming boom is beginning to wane, said Paolo Pescatore, an analyst at PP Foresight.

Analysts had expected 43.1% growth in Azure, according to consensus data from Visible Alpha.\n“It’s a very impressive report from Microsoft with the company easily surpassing expectations on the performance of almost all business units,” said Haris Anwar, senior analyst at Investing.com.\nHe noted Azure’s growth and strong demand for the company’s legacy Office and software products.\n“That said, Microsoft’s stock has made a big run since the beginning of the pandemic, and is trading at rich multiples,” Anwar said. “After such a powerful rally, its shares may take a breather, especially when investors are still unclear how the demand scenario will evolve in the post-pandemic environment.”\nMicrosoft’s market capitalization stands at nearly $2.2 trillion, fueling concerns among some analysts that it may be overvalued. The stock has climbed nearly 30% so far this year, compared with 18% for the overall S&P 500 Index, according to Refinitiv Eikon data based on Monday’s closing price.\nRevenue from personal computing, which includes Windows software and Xbox gaming consoles, rose 9% to $14.1 billion.\nBut Xbox content and services revenue dipped, suggesting that a pandemic-fueled gaming boom is beginning to wane, said Paolo Pescatore, an analyst at PP Foresight. The company must strengthen its presence in the home to better compete with rivals, he added.\nSome Microsoft hardware lines were affected by a shortage of components such as chips, said Kyle Vikstrom, director of Microsoft investor relations. Makers of cars to smartphones have grappled with an unprecedented chip shortage in recent quarters.\n“We are seeing supply chain constraints that are impacting Windows OEM and Surface ... and also impacting Xbox consoles,” she said.\nThe chip shortage could also be contributing to Microsoft’s dip in Xbox content and services revenue, as constrained hardware sales lead to a weaker performance in services, said Daniel Ives of Wedbush Securities.\n“If there’s any lagging part of Microsoft, it’s the consumer piece,” he said. “I think that continues to be a work in progress.”\nRevenue rose 21% to $46.2 billion, beating analysts’ consensus estimate of $44.24 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv. The company reported earnings of $2.17 per share, above the consensus estimate of $1.92.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":345,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800711607,"gmtCreate":1627318649509,"gmtModify":1633766157968,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Ooh wow!!!&nbsp;","listText":"Ooh wow!!!&nbsp;","text":"Ooh wow!!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/800711607","repostId":"1191215576","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":258,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":800711305,"gmtCreate":1627318618707,"gmtModify":1633766158316,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow&nbsp;","listText":"Wow&nbsp;","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/800711305","repostId":"2154957883","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":378,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174989154,"gmtCreate":1627057733878,"gmtModify":1633768340846,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wowwwwwww","listText":"Wowwwwwww","text":"Wowwwwwww","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/174989154","repostId":"1124707956","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124707956","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627053121,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124707956?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-23 23:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hedge Funds Dump The Rally After Buying The Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124707956","media":"zerohedge","summary":"One can't say that Goldman's clients have too much faith in Goldman's trade recos.As Goldman's flow trader John Flood was urging clients on Monday \"not to buy this dip\", they did just that and on Monday Goldman's Prime Brokerage service observed a surge in hedge fund dip buying as the S&P tumbled as low as 4,220.

Some officials have raised concerns about rising home prices and are pressing to stop purchases of mortgage bonds sooner.</p>\n<p>But Mr. Powell and other officials have poured cold water on those concerns in recent weeks.

The Labor Department’s consumer-price index increased 5.4% from a year ago, the highest 12-month rate since August 2008.</p>\n<p>Mr. Powell said two weeks ago that&nbsp;many of the elevated price pressures&nbsp;can still be traced to goods and services affected by supply-chain bottlenecks and other pandemic-driven upheaval. As a result, he said it would be too soon for the Fed to abandon its earlier expectation that prices will return to their 2% target on their own and to raise rates to cool down demand and reduce inflation faster.</p>\n<p>But Mr. Powell could face questions over how long the central bank and its 12-member rate-setting committee feels it would take to revisit their projections.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.</p>\n<p>Q2 earnings were solid</p>\n<p>Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.</p>\n<p>Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit</p>\n<p>Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.</p>\n<p>That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.</p>\n<p>Cash App and Bitcoin</p>\n<p>The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.</p>\n<p>Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.</p>\n<p>The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:</p>\n<blockquote>\n <i>In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.</i>\n</blockquote>\n<p>As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business</p>\n<p>Small business is coming back</p>\n<p>One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.</p>\n<p>Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining</p>\n<p>We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.</p>\n<p><b>Nice to see EPS growing</b></p>\n<p>Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.</p>\n<p>A new acquisition, pricey but interesting</p>\n<p>In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.</p>\n<p><b>Take home</b></p>\n<p>Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.\nQ2 earnings were solid\nKeep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.\nTransaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit\nRevenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.\nThat said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.\nCash App and Bitcoin\nThe biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.\nKeep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.\nThe company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:\n\nIn the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.\n\nAs you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business\nSmall business is coming back\nOne of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.\nEarnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining\nWe are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.\nNice to see EPS growing\nOverall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.\nA new acquisition, pricey but interesting\nIn conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.\nTake home\nMake no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":480,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":803856703,"gmtCreate":1627433304302,"gmtModify":1633765071322,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wow!!&nbsp;","listText":"Wow!!&nbsp;","text":"Wow!!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/803856703","repostId":"1148712151","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":265,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":174989154,"gmtCreate":1627057733878,"gmtModify":1633768340846,"author":{"id":"3578433246793429","authorId":"3578433246793429","name":"xficklemindx","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3578433246793429","authorIdStr":"3578433246793429"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Wowwwwwww","listText":"Wowwwwwww","text":"Wowwwwwww","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/174989154","repostId":"1124707956","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1124707956","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627053121,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1124707956?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-07-23 23:12","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Hedge Funds Dump The Rally After Buying The Dip","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1124707956","media":"zerohedge","summary":"One can't say that Goldman's clients have too much faith in Goldman's trade recos.As Goldman's flow trader John Flood was urging clients on Monday \"not to buy this dip\", they did just that and on Monday Goldman's Prime Brokerage service observed a surge in hedge fund dip buying as the S&P tumbled as low as 4,220.
