The four most important factors to look at in Q3 are gross profit growth, Rule of 40, business performance, and key product milestones. The recent pullback in Block's shares suggest that a strong quarter could increase the share price post-earnings, however there is a risk of the decline if Block misses any expectations. I expect the company to issue higher profitability and gross profit guidance, coupled with updates on the Cash App and Square integration which support a strong buy recommendation.
