Should I Buy Square Stock May 2026

To understand Block as an investment, one must understand its two primary revenue-generating ecosystems: Square and Cash App.

Whether you should buy Block stock comes down to your investment strategy. It is not a stock for low-risk, income-focused investors, as it does not pay a dividend and its share price can be highly volatile.

In the merchant space, Square faces aggressive competition from Fiserv (Clover), Toast (specifically in restaurants), and Shopify. On the consumer side, Cash App competes directly with PayPal’s Venmo, traditional banks, and Apple Pay.
