Kelly is optimistic about the company’s ability to continue amassing a wide base of users by offering free peer-to-peer payment services and then finding ways to monetize those users with things like the Cash Card debit card and small fees for those who want to instantly transfer their funds to their bank accounts.
“We believe by reinvesting profits from prior Cash App cohorts, combined with its seller ecosystem, Square can develop significant network effects and products that will be challenging for other neo-banks to replicate in the digital wallet space,” he wrote in his note to clients, while $185.

Separately, Mizuho analyst Dan Dolev also chimed in with a cheery view of the Cash App Thursday, calling the business “unstoppable” and writing that the service’s total addressable market could double if Square got into new areas like small loans, insurance, and wealth management.
Dolev wrote that the company benefits from better unit economics than traditional banks or neobanks because the Cash App’s peer-to-peer service enables it to more cheaply acquire new customers. Because of this, “Square does not need to recoup acquisition costs by offering mortgages like banks do,” he said.
In Dolev’s view, investors shouldn’t worry about the sustainability of the Cash App’s revenue growth because “new products like Cash Card are following similar trajectories of the successful Instant Deposit product.” He maintained a buy rating and $225 price target on the stock.
Square shares have rallied 141% so far this year compared with near flat performance for the S&P 500 SPX,
