Price against fair value
Free cash flow — 10-year history ($B)
What the math is really telling you. Watch whether cash flow is compounding — that, more than any single year, is what a value read hangs on.

- Good:Price is in line with its recordPriced for ~4%/yr, roughly what it has delivered (681.1%/yr) — from a depressed FY22 base.
- Good:Revenue still growingUp 0.3% last year — demand isn't the problem.
- Good:Cash flow compoundingFree cash flow up ~681.1%/yr — the engine is growing.

How this was built. Every figure is computed from Block, Inc.'s SEC filings — no estimates, no AI. Two-stage DCF: 9% discount rate, 5% free-cash-flow growth for 10 years, 2.5% terminal. Free cash flow is operating cash flow less capital spending. Net cash is cash and marketable securities less borrowings, commercial paper and finance leases; operating leases are disclosed but never counted as debt. Fundamentals are from the FY25 annual report and change only when a new one is filed. Price of $80.94 taken 2026-09-08 (Google Finance, manual entry, 2026-09-11) — it is not live and does not move during the day.
