-- バンク・オブ・アメリカ証券は水曜日の調査レポートで、ブロック（XYZ）は5月7日の第1四半期決算発表を前に、AIを活用した効率化に重点を置いたコスト見直しが初期段階で生産性向上の兆しを見せていることから、ファンダメンタルズ面でより好材料となっていると指摘した。 アナリストらは、堅実な事業遂行と、マージン、収益化、資本配分に関する規律ある情報発信が、株価の好反応を支える可能性があると述べた。 また、AIを活用した効率化への取り組みは、マージン拡大とユニットエコノミクスの改善にも貢献し始めており、同社の2026年度業績見通しに対する信頼感を高めていると、同証券は指摘した。 キャッシュアプリのプロモーションによる収益化が徐々に進み始めていることから、市場は売上高や利益の予測引き上げを正当化するに足る業績の兆候を注視するだろうと、同レポートは述べている。 バンク・オブ・アメリカはブロック株の買い推奨を維持し、目標株価を100ドルに引き上げた。
