Attention Investors: Important Information Regarding Block, Inc. Class Action Lawsuit
New York, NY – Rosen Law Firm, a leading investor rights law firm, is reminding investors of their potential eligibility to join a class action lawsuit against Block, Inc. (NYSE: SQ, XYZ), formerly known as Square, Inc.

What is a Class Action Lawsuit?
A class action lawsuit is a type of lawsuit where a large group of people, in this case, investors, come together to assert a common claim against a defendant, in this case, Block, Inc. Class action lawsuits are typically used when there are numerous plaintiffs, and the individual claims may be too small to justify separate lawsuits. In this case, if you purchased Block’s Class A common stock during the Class Period, you may be entitled to compensation without any out-of-pocket costs or fees through a contingency fee arrangement.
Why Should You Care?
If you purchased Block’s Class A common stock during the Class Period, you may have lost money as a result of the alleged securities law violations. The lead plaintiff deadline to file a motion to serve as the representative plaintiff for the class is March 18, 2025. If you wish to become an lead plaintiff, you must meet certain requirements and act quickly. The lead plaintiff will act on behalf of all other class members in the lawsuit. Class members do not need to act or file anything at this time, but they may choose to “opt-out” of the class action and pursue their own separate lawsuit.
How Could This Affect You?
The outcome of this class action lawsuit could result in a monetary recovery for investors who purchased Block’s Class A common stock during the Class Period. The exact amount of the recovery will depend on the specific allegations of the lawsuit and the outcome of any settlement negotiations or trial. If the lawsuit is successful, class members may be entitled to damages, which could include the difference between the purchase price of their shares and the value of those shares at the time of the alleged misrepresentation, as well as any related losses.
How Could This Affect the World?
The outcome of this class action lawsuit could potentially have a ripple effect on the entire financial industry, as it could set a precedent for future securities lawsuits. It could also impact investor confidence in Block, Inc. and the broader financial markets. If the allegations are proven true, it could lead to increased scrutiny and regulation of publicly traded companies, particularly in the technology sector. However, it is important to note that the outcome of this lawsuit is not guaranteed, and it is always possible that the case could be settled before going to trial.
