Citi Lowers Block (XYZ) PT to $85 While Maintaining Buy Rating

Block Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) is one of the best stocks under $50 to invest in. On February 5, Citi analyst Bryan Keane lowered the firm’s price target on Block to $85 from $105 while keeping a Buy rating. The firm reset the target ahead of the company’s Q4 2025 report, though Citi still expects Block to achieve its 19% gross profit growth estimate.

On January 27, Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage of Block with an Overweight rating and an $87 price target and noted that the company’s turnaround is gaining momentum. The firm highlighted that new product initiatives suggest the firm’s innovation engine is performing at a high level. While Cantor found Block’s medium-term guidance impressive, it emphasized that the company’s future success now depends on its ability to execute those plans.

Additionally, on January 20, Truist analyst Matthew Coad raised the firm’s price target on Block Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) to $72 from $68 with a Hold rating as part of a broader Q4 earnings preview for the FinTech sector.
