Long-Term SQ Stock Owners Should Benefit From Block’s Afterpay Deal


Article preview image

On January 31, 2022, Block Inc (NYSE:SQ), formerly known as Square (but still retaining the “SQ” stock symbol) closed on its purchase of Afterpay. On balance, this should be a net positive for SQ, although it may take the long term for it to work out. This is because the $29 billion deal was done 100% in Square stock, diluting the existing shareholders.
