That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.\nQ2 earnings were solid\nKeep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.\nTransaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit\nRevenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.\nThat said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.\nCash App and Bitcoin\nThe biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.\nKeep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.\nThe company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:\n\nIn the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.\n\nAs you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business\nSmall business is coming back\nOne of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.\nEarnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining\nWe are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.\nNice to see EPS growing\nOverall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.\nA new acquisition, pricey but interesting\nIn conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.\nTake home\nMake no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":804781257,"gmtCreate":1627980582079,"gmtModify":1633754685079,"author":{"id":"3565081661382277","authorId":"3565081661382277","name":"Mm101","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01758aa877d9e5a9767d24de3a4e2ff1","vip":1,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3565081661382277","authorIdStr":"3565081661382277"},"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/804781257","repostId":1105546206,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1105546206","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1627973738,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1105546206?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-08-03 14:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1105546206","media":"seekingalpha","summary":"Summary\n\nQ2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.\nA sizable Australian acqui","content":"Summary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times.

We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off.

We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit.

If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago.

While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.<blockquote>毫无疑问，第二季度的盈利非常强劲。随着交易收入激增，比特币交易的纳入对公司来说是一个巨大的好处。小企业正在卷土重来，这导致基于卖家的交易费用大幅反弹。这家增长最快的金融科技公司的盈利也是积极的。收购Afterpay是进军“先买后付”业务的重大举措，该业务越来越受欢迎，特别是在Square服务的主要用户千禧一代中。虽然传统的估值指标在这里不起作用，但我们敦促我们的成员考虑公司正在像野火一样增长的事实。股价越接近200美元，我们就越看涨。然而，从长远来看，目前的股票水平值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-03 14:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times. That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.<blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入已经起飞。在刚刚宣布的季度中，净收入为46.8亿美元，同比增长143%，令人难以置信。不包括比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但您可以看到比特币资产对公司的意义有多大。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit<blockquote>交易收入激增，但要看GPV毛利</blockquote> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.<blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。Cash App创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时实现了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。营收增长177%，毛利增长近一倍。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App收入为6.06亿美元，同比增长87%。</blockquote> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.<blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下跌。它是不稳定的。波动性有助于增加交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计将带来更多积极的利润。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。对于Square来说，比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App在Q2为比特币带来了27.2亿美元的收入和5500万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增长了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:<blockquote>该公司本身也在拿钱直接拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote> In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment. As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business<blockquote>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们分别在比特币投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为一项不确定存续期的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期间低于其账面价值，则须计提减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了4500万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，根据可观察的市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币的价格略有相关性。然而，大部分业务仍然是基于交易的，我们甚至没有触及小企业</blockquote> Small business is coming back<blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.<blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入已经起飞。在刚刚宣布的季度中，净收入为46.8亿美元，同比增长143%，令人难以置信。不包括比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但您可以看到比特币资产对公司的意义有多大。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit<blockquote>交易收入激增，但要看GPV毛利</blockquote> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.<blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。Cash App创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时实现了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。营收增长177%，毛利增长近一倍。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App收入为6.06亿美元，同比增长87%。</blockquote> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.<blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下跌。它是不稳定的。波动性有助于增加交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计将带来更多积极的利润。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。对于Square来说，比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App在Q2为比特币带来了27.2亿美元的收入和5500万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增长了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:<blockquote>该公司本身也在拿钱直接拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote> In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment. As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business<blockquote>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们分别在比特币投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为一项不确定存续期的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期间低于其账面价值，则须计提减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了4500万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，根据可观察的市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币的价格略有相关性。然而，大部分业务仍然是基于交易的，我们甚至没有触及小企业</blockquote> Small business is coming back<blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.<blockquote>毫无疑问，第二季度的盈利非常强劲。随着交易收入激增，比特币交易的纳入对公司来说是一个巨大的好处。小企业正在卷土重来，这导致基于卖家的交易费用大幅反弹。这家增长最快的金融科技公司的盈利也是积极的。收购Afterpay是进军“先买后付”业务的重大举措，该业务越来越受欢迎，特别是在Square服务的主要用户千禧一代中。虽然传统的估值指标在这里不起作用，但我们敦促我们的成员考虑公司正在像野火一样增长的事实。股价越接近200美元，我们就越看涨。然而，从长远来看，目前的股票水平值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-03 14:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times.

Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.\nQ2 earnings were solid\nKeep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.\nTransaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit\nRevenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.\nThat said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.\nCash App and Bitcoin\nThe biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.\nKeep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.\nThe company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:\n\nIn the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.\n\nAs you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business\nSmall business is coming back\nOne of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.\nEarnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining\nWe are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive.

However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.<blockquote>毫无疑问，第二季度的盈利非常强劲。随着交易收入激增，比特币交易的纳入对公司来说是一个巨大的好处。小企业正在卷土重来，这导致基于卖家的交易费用大幅反弹。这家增长最快的金融科技公司的盈利也是积极的。收购Afterpay是进军“先买后付”业务的重大举措，该业务越来越受欢迎，特别是在Square服务的主要用户千禧一代中。虽然传统的估值指标在这里不起作用，但我们敦促我们的成员考虑公司正在像野火一样增长的事实。股价越接近200美元，我们就越看涨。然而，从长远来看，目前的股票水平值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-03 14:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times. That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.<blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入已经起飞。在刚刚宣布的季度中，净收入为46.8亿美元，同比增长143%，令人难以置信。不包括比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但您可以看到比特币资产对公司的意义有多大。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit<blockquote>交易收入激增，但要看GPV毛利</blockquote> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.<blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。Cash App创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时实现了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。营收增长177%，毛利增长近一倍。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App收入为6.06亿美元，同比增长87%。</blockquote> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.<blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下跌。它是不稳定的。波动性有助于增加交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计将带来更多积极的利润。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。对于Square来说，比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App在Q2为比特币带来了27.2亿美元的收入和5500万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增长了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:<blockquote>该公司本身也在拿钱直接拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote> In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment. As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business<blockquote>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们分别在比特币投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为一项不确定存续期的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期间低于其账面价值，则须计提减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了4500万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，根据可观察的市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币的价格略有相关性。然而，大部分业务仍然是基于交易的，我们甚至没有触及小企业</blockquote> Small business is coming back<blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.<blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入已经起飞。在刚刚宣布的季度中，净收入为46.8亿美元，同比增长143%，令人难以置信。不包括比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但您可以看到比特币资产对公司的意义有多大。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit<blockquote>交易收入激增，但要看GPV毛利</blockquote> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.<blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。Cash App创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时实现了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。营收增长177%，毛利增长近一倍。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App收入为6.06亿美元，同比增长87%。</blockquote> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.<blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下跌。它是不稳定的。波动性有助于增加交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计将带来更多积极的利润。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。对于Square来说，比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App在Q2为比特币带来了27.2亿美元的收入和5500万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增长了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:<blockquote>该公司本身也在拿钱直接拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote> In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment. As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business<blockquote>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们分别在比特币投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为一项不确定存续期的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期间低于其账面价值，则须计提减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了4500万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，根据可观察的市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币的价格略有相关性。然而，大部分业务仍然是基于交易的，我们甚至没有触及小企业</blockquote> Small business is coming back<blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.<blockquote>毫无疑问，第二季度的盈利非常强劲。随着交易收入激增，比特币交易的纳入对公司来说是一个巨大的好处。小企业正在卷土重来，这导致基于卖家的交易费用大幅反弹。这家增长最快的金融科技公司的盈利也是积极的。收购Afterpay是进军“先买后付”业务的重大举措，该业务越来越受欢迎，特别是在Square服务的主要用户千禧一代中。虽然传统的估值指标在这里不起作用，但我们敦促我们的成员考虑公司正在像野火一样增长的事实。股价越接近200美元，我们就越看涨。然而，从长远来看，目前的股票水平值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-03 14:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times.

Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however.

If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.\nQ2 earnings were solid\nKeep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.\nTransaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit\nRevenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.\nThat said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.\nCash App and Bitcoin\nThe biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.\nKeep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.\nThe company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:\n\nIn the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.\n\nAs you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business\nSmall business is coming back\nOne of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.\nEarnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining\nWe are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment.

Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago.

However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.<blockquote>毫无疑问，第二季度的盈利非常强劲。随着交易收入激增，比特币交易的纳入对公司来说是一个巨大的好处。小企业正在卷土重来，这导致基于卖家的交易费用大幅反弹。这家增长最快的金融科技公司的盈利也是积极的。收购Afterpay是进军“先买后付”业务的重大举措，该业务越来越受欢迎，特别是在Square服务的主要用户千禧一代中。虽然传统的估值指标在这里不起作用，但我们敦促我们的成员考虑公司正在像野火一样增长的事实。股价越接近200美元，我们就越看涨。然而，从长远来看，目前的股票水平值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-03 14:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times. That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.<blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入已经起飞。在刚刚宣布的季度中，净收入为46.8亿美元，同比增长143%，令人难以置信。不包括比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但您可以看到比特币资产对公司的意义有多大。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit<blockquote>交易收入激增，但要看GPV毛利</blockquote> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.<blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。Cash App创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时实现了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。营收增长177%，毛利增长近一倍。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App收入为6.06亿美元，同比增长87%。</blockquote> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.<blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下跌。它是不稳定的。波动性有助于增加交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计将带来更多积极的利润。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。对于Square来说，比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App在Q2为比特币带来了27.2亿美元的收入和5500万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增长了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:<blockquote>该公司本身也在拿钱直接拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote> In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment. As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business<blockquote>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们分别在比特币投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为一项不确定存续期的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期间低于其账面价值，则须计提减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了4500万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，根据可观察的市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币的价格略有相关性。然而，大部分业务仍然是基于交易的，我们甚至没有触及小企业</blockquote> Small business is coming back<blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company&nbsp;just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.<blockquote>我们喜欢金融科技股，其中排名靠前的是Square（纽约证券交易所股票代码：SQ），我们已经交易过多次。也就是说，虽然它是一只优秀的交易股票，但最简单的做法是在未来五年内购买并持有。该公司是金融科技颠覆者，并且正在像野火一样增长。该公司刚刚公布了一些出色的收益，并且没有显示出放缓的迹象。更重要的是，一次昂贵但适时的收购将有助于公司扩大规模。虽然根据传统指标对公司进行估值几乎是不可能的，但我们恳求我们的追随者进行长期思考，并相信公司将会发展到其过高的估值。当股价接近200美元时，我们将其评级为强力买入。</blockquote> Q2 earnings were solid<blockquote>第二季度盈利稳健</blockquote> Keep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.<blockquote>请记住，自从该公司允许使用加密货币（比特币）以来，收入已经起飞。在刚刚宣布的季度中，净收入为46.8亿美元，同比增长143%，令人难以置信。不包括比特币（BTC-USD）交易，第二季度总净收入为19.6亿美元，同比增长87%。虽然这仍然是巨大的增长，但您可以看到比特币资产对公司的意义有多大。总体而言，毛利润为11.4亿美元，同比增长91%。固体。</blockquote> Transaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit<blockquote>交易收入激增，但要看GPV毛利</blockquote> Revenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.<blockquote>交易收入为12.3亿美元，同比增长80%，毛利润为5.43亿美元，增长85%。尽管交易量较一年前激增，但华尔街可能会对交易量低于预期感到失望。Square处理了428亿美元的GPV，同比增长88%。基于交易的毛利润占GPV的百分比为1.27%，同比下降2个基点，环比下降5个基点。这也是华尔街可能会抓住的弱点。你必须记住，由于这只高增长金融科技股票的估值过高，最轻微的负面影响都可能激怒股东群并引发抛售。我们欢迎抛售并鼓励买入。</blockquote> That said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.<blockquote>尽管如此，基于订阅和服务的收入也几乎翻了一番，达到6.85亿美元，毛利润为5.61亿美元，同比增长90%。请记住，收购TIDAL是本季度的一大推动力，但有机增长也很稳健。</blockquote> Cash App and Bitcoin<blockquote>Cash App和比特币</blockquote> The biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.<blockquote>整体增长的最大驱动力是令人惊叹的现金应用程序。Cash App创造了33.3亿美元的收入，同时实现了5.46亿美元的毛利润。这是巨大的增长。营收增长177%，毛利增长近一倍。同样，比特币是其中的重要组成部分。如果剔除比特币，Cash App收入为6.06亿美元，同比增长87%。</blockquote> Keep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.<blockquote>请记住，比特币的价格在第二季度的大部分时间里都在下跌。它是不稳定的。波动性有助于增加交易收入，但如果比特币价格开始反弹，预计将带来更多积极的利润。他们是在上周左右。我们认为加密货币接入对公司来说意义重大。对于Square来说，比特币到底有多大？巨大的。Cash App在Q2为比特币带来了27.2亿美元的收入和5500万美元的比特币毛利润。这比去年增长了三倍。这是主要的。</blockquote> The company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:<blockquote>该公司本身也在拿钱直接拥有比特币。根据发布：</blockquote> In the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment. As you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business<blockquote>2020年第四季度和2021年第一季度，我们分别在比特币投资了5000万美元和1.7亿美元。比特币作为一项不确定存续期的无形资产，倘比特币的公允价值于评估期间低于其账面价值，则须计提减值亏损。第二季度，我们对比特币投资确认了4500万美元的比特币减值损失。截至2021年6月30日，根据可观察的市场价格，我们在比特币投资的公允价值为2.81亿美元，比投资的账面价值高出1.27亿美元。正如你所看到的，这里有大量的现金。因此，预计该股将继续与比特币的价格略有相关性。然而，大部分业务仍然是基于交易的，我们甚至没有触及小企业</blockquote> Small business is coming back<blockquote>小企业正在回归</blockquote> One of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.<blockquote>Square最大的客户和收入驱动力之一是小型企业。现在，随着COVID危机的改善和世界的重新开放，他们又回来了。作为更广泛的卖家生态系统的一部分，小企业创造了13.1亿美元的收入和5.85亿美元的毛利润，均比一年前增长了80%以上。再次，稳健增长。</blockquote> Earnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining<blockquote>盈利是积极的，尽管如果运营费用得到控制，盈利可能会更强劲，但我们并不抱怨</blockquote> We are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are. However, shares are a buy at present levels for the long-term.<blockquote>毫无疑问，第二季度的盈利非常强劲。随着交易收入激增，比特币交易的纳入对公司来说是一个巨大的好处。小企业正在卷土重来，这导致基于卖家的交易费用大幅反弹。这家增长最快的金融科技公司的盈利也是积极的。收购Afterpay是进军“先买后付”业务的重大举措，该业务越来越受欢迎，特别是在Square服务的主要用户千禧一代中。虽然传统的估值指标在这里不起作用，但我们敦促我们的成员考虑公司正在像野火一样增长的事实。股价越接近200美元，我们就越看涨。然而，从长远来看，目前的股票水平值得买入。</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare: Killing It<blockquote>广场：杀死它</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nseekingalpha2021-08-03 14:55\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\nSummary<blockquote>总结</blockquote> <ul> <li>Q2 earnings show solid growth with little signs of slowing down.</li> <li>A sizable Australian acquisition will help scale.</li> <li>Bitcoin trades helping drive traffic and usage.</li> <li>Cash app still strong as small business returns.</li> <li>Shares are going much higher.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ab85907a8bae93764507725561f65355\" tg-width=\"1536\" tg-height=\"864\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">shulz/E+ via Getty Images<blockquote><ul><li>第二季度盈利显示稳健增长，几乎没有放缓的迹象。</li><li>一项大规模的澳大利亚收购将有助于扩大规模。</li><li>比特币交易有助于推动流量和使用量。</li><li>随着小企业的回归，现金应用程序仍然强劲。</li><li>股价正在走高。</li></ul>shulz/E+来自盖蒂图片社</blockquote> We love financial tech stocks, and near the top of the list is Square(NYSE:SQ)which we have traded several times.

Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.<blockquote>我们不会抱怨处于最高收入增长模式且盈利为正的金融科技公司。该公司的盈利为正。虽然FWD市盈率超过100或更高是可笑的，但我们希望您关注增长程度。净利润为2.04亿美元。他们确实通过出售DoorDash投资获得了7700万美元的收益。扣除上述与比特币投资减值相关的损失后，净利润为1.73亿美元。然而，运营费用很高。运营费用为10.2亿美元，同比增长64%。毫无疑问，它们与销售额的大幅增长是相称的，但这些费用控制得越好，收益就越好。</blockquote> Nice to see EPS growing<blockquote>很高兴看到每股收益增长</blockquote> Overall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.<blockquote>总体而言，每股净利润基本为0.45美元。如果我们退出DoorDash出售，比特币基本每股收益的减值为0.39美元，而调整后EBITDA为3.6亿美元，较一年前的9800万美元飙升。总体调整后每股收益为0.66美元，比去年同期大幅增长0.48美元。事情只会变得更好。</blockquote> A new acquisition, pricey but interesting<blockquote>一次新的收购，昂贵但有趣</blockquote> In conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey. The deal will not close until 2022, so the actual fiscal terms may differ at that point. Afterpay shareholders will own approximately nearly 20% of the newly combined company on a fully diluted basis. It is a massive transaction. But Afterpay has had its own immense growth and has surged in popularity. We believe this deal and the capabilities it will bring to Square's users is accretive, and the company will reap the benefits immediately in 2022. For more on Afterpay, we recommendthis column here.<blockquote>在本周末发布财报的同时，Square同意以290亿美元（顺便说一下，全部为股票）收购澳大利亚的Afterpay（OTCPK：AFTPF），以增加“先买后付”的功能。虽然Afterpay股东可以以现金形式获得部分资金，但总体而言，Square以澳元支付Afterpay每股约125美元，即30%的溢价。那是昂贵的。该交易要到2022年才会完成，因此届时实际的财政条款可能会有所不同。Afterpay股东将在完全稀释的基础上拥有新合并公司约近20%的股份。这是一笔巨额交易。但Afterpay也有自己的巨大增长，并且越来越受欢迎。我们相信这笔交易及其将为Square用户带来的功能是增值的，该公司将在2022年立即受益。有关Afterpay的更多信息，我们推荐本专栏。</blockquote> Take home<blockquote>带回家</blockquote> Make no mistake, Q2 earnings were incredibly strong. The inclusion of bitcoin trading has been a massive benefit to the company as transactional revenue has surged. Small business is coming back and that has led to a big rebound in seller-based transactional fees. This supreme growth fintech is also earnings positive. The acquisition of Afterpay is a huge move to get into the buy now, pay later business which is growing in popularity, specifically among millennials a primary user of Square services. While traditional valuation metrics are not at play here, we urge our members to consider the fact that the company is growing like wildfire. The closer shares get to $200 the more bullish we are.

That said, whilst being a great trading stock, the easiest move is to buy and hold over the next five years. The company is a fintech disruptor, and it is growing like wildfire. The company just reported some stellar earnings,and is showing no signs of slowing down. What is more, an expensive, but well-timed acquisition will help the company scale. While valuing the company on traditional metrics is near impossible, we implore our followers to think very long-term here and believe the company will grow into its stretched valuation. We rate shares a strong buy the closer they are to $200.\nQ2 earnings were solid\nKeep in mind ever since the company allowed access to cryptocurrency (bitcoin), revenues have taken off. In the just announced quarter, net revenue was $4.68 billion up an incredible 143% year-over-year. Excluding bitcoin (BTC-USD) transactions, total net revenue in the second quarter was $1.96 billion, up 87% year over year. While this is still massive growth, you can see how much the bitcoin assets mean to the company. On the whole, gross profit was $1.14 billion up 91% year-over-year. Solid.\nTransaction revenue surges, but watch GPV gross profit\nRevenue from transactions was $1.23 billion rising 80% year-over-year, while gross profit was $543 million, up 85%. The Street may be disappointed with the fact that volumes were less than expected, despite surging from a year ago. Square processed $42.8 billion in GPV up 88% year-over-year. Transaction-based gross profit as a percentage of GPV was 1.27% down 2 basis points year over year and down 5 basis points quarter over quarter. That wasa weakness that the Street might also jump at. You have to remember, with the stretched valuation of this high growth fintech stock, the slightest negative can irritate the shareholder base and trigger selling. We would welcome the selling and encourage a buy.\nThat said, subscription and services-based revenue nearly doubled as well to 685 million while gross profit was $561 million, up 90% year-over-year. Keep in mind the acquisition of TIDAL was a big boost in the quarter, but the organic growth was solid as well.\nCash App and Bitcoin\nThe biggest driver of overall growth was the amazing Cash App. Cash App generated $3.33 billion of revenue while delivering $546 million of gross profit. This is huge growth. Revenue rose 177%, while gross profit nearly doubled. Again, bitcoin was a large part of this. If we back out bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $606 million, up 87% year-over-year.\nKeep in mind the prices of bitcoin were falling for most of Q2. It was volatile. Volatility helps with trading revenue, but expect even more positive profit power if bitcoin prices start to rebound. Which, they are, in the last week or so. We think that the cryptocurrency access is huge for the company. Just how big is bitcoin for Square? HUGE. Cash App brought in $2.72 billion of bitcoin revenue and $55 million of bitcoin gross profit in Q2. This was up three-fold from last year. It is major.\nThe company itself is taking money in putting it straight into owning bitcoin.According to the release:\n\nIn the fourth quarter of 2020 and first quarter of 2021, we invested $50 million and $170 million, respectively, in bitcoin. As an indefinite-lived intangible asset, bitcoin is subject to impairment losses if the fair value of bitcoin decreases below the carrying value during the assessed period. In the second quarter, we recognized a bitcoin impairment loss of $45 million on our bitcoin investment. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our investment in bitcoin was $281 million based on observable market prices, which is $127 million greater than the carrying value of the investment.\n\nAs you can see, there is serious cash on the line here. As such, expect the stock to continue to trade with a slight correlation with the price of bitcoin. However, the bulk of the business is still transaction based, and we have not even touched on small business\nSmall business is coming back\nOne of the biggest customers and drivers of revenue for Square are small businesses. They are coming back now that the COVID crisis is improving and the world is reopening. Small businesses as part of the broader seller ecosystem was responsible for $1.31 billion of revenue and $585 million of gross profit, both up over 80% from a year ago. Once again, solid growth.\nEarnings are positive, though could be stronger if operational expenses are controlled but we aren't complaining\nWe are not going to complain about a fintech that is in supreme revenue growth mode that is earnings positive. And the company is earnings positive. While a FWD p/e ratio is laughable over 100, or more, we want you looking at the degree of growth. Net income was $204 million. They did have a gain of $77 million by selling their DoorDash investment. Net income was $173 million when excluding that and the aforementioned loss related to the impairment of its bitcoin investment. Operational expenses are high however. Operating expenses were $1.02 billion up 64% from a year ago. Make no mistake, they are commensurate with the huge rise is sales, but the more controlled these expenses are, the better earnings will be.\nNice to see EPS growing\nOverall, net income per share was $0.45 on a basic level. If we back out the DoorDash sale and the impairment on bitcoin basic EPS was $0.39, while adjusted EBITDA was $360 million surging from the $98 million a year ago. Overall adjusted EPS was $0.66 a huge $0.48 increase from a year ago. And things are only going to get better.\nA new acquisition, pricey but interesting\nIn conjunction withthis weekend's earnings release, Square agreed to buy Australia's Afterpay(OTCPK:AFTPF)for $29 billion (all in stock by the way) to add buy now, pay later abilities. While Afterpay shareholders can take some of it in cash, on the whole, Square is paying roughly $125 per share for Afterpay in Australian dollars, or a 30% premium. That is pricey.
