Block, Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) is one of the Best Long-Term Tech Stocks to Buy According to Analysts. On January 20, Truist analyst Matthew Coad lifted the firm’s price objective on the company’s stock to $72 from $68, while keeping a “Hold” rating, as reported by The Fly. This was seen as part of the broader research note, which previewed Q4 2025 earnings in FinTech.

The analyst expects the quarter’s results to be strong. However, a difficult YoY comparison could restrict the volume-related beats. Furthermore, even though Truist remains optimistic about the broader group across 2026, the analyst added that some management teams might reset Street expectations slightly lower than the original 2026 guidance.

Elsewhere, Citi analyst Bryan Keane reiterated “Buy” ratings on Affirm, Klarna, and Block, Inc. (NYSE:XYZ). The analyst remains bullish on buy now, pay later (BNPL) in 2026. According to the firm, BNPL is an increasingly embedded payment and budgeting tool across both online and offline commerce. Notably, the broader sector is positioned for material share gains.

Block, Inc. (NYSE:XYZ) builds ecosystems focused on commerce and financial products and services.
