What Is the Latest Analyst Price Target?

The second data set, using third-party data for 47 analysts, shows a mean price target of $98.39, a median of $99, a high of $125 and a low of $75. Against the $77.34 close, the mean suggests potential upside of about 27.2%. Market data reports a lower consensus of $95.45 from 42 ratings in the last twelve months, with a high of $125.00 and a low of $55.00, implying about 23.4% upside.

The difference appears to come from the low end. Market data's $55.00 low target comes from Rothschild & Co Redburn, while recent named broker targets over the past three months mostly fall between $82 and $125 and average roughly $100.

What Are Wall Street Analysts Saying?

Sentiment is positive. Market data records four Strong Buy, 29 Buy and nine Hold ratings with no Sell ratings, a Moderate Buy consensus. The second data set shows 28 Strong Buy, ten Buy and nine Hold.

Market data lists many recent broker actions. Robert W. Baird raised its target from $105 to $106 on 2 October 2026, BTIG Research reiterated a $100 target and Cantor Fitzgerald a $95 target on 25 September, and Scotiabank initiated coverage with a Sector Perform rating and an $82 target on 2 September. Wolfe Research raised its target from $100 to $115 on 25 August, and Canaccord Genuity raised its target from $85 to $100 on 13 August. After 6 August, a number of brokers lifted targets, including Piper Sandler (to $105), KeyCorp (to $108), UBS (to $98), TD Cowen (to $105) and Susquehanna (to $100).

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

With the shares well below almost every recent target, even a partial re-rating towards the consensus would represent a meaningful move.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

The gap between the share price and the average target is wide, which suggests the market is more cautious than analysts. Block operates in competitive payments and consumer finance markets, and results can be affected by consumer spending, regulation and credit performance. Nine analysts have Hold ratings, and the lowest target ($55 to $75, depending on the data set) shows that a minority sees much more limited value.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

Investors may also want to follow further broker target revisions, since consensus figures change after each result and new coverage.
