Block and Fiverr: Undervalued Fintech and Gig Economy Leaders

Block and Fiverr are undervalued stocks with potential for long-term growth. Block is a fintech leader with a strong position in the market and a portable POS system that can extract more value from its ecosystem. Fiverr has barely scratched the surface of its massive addressable market in the gig economy. Both stocks have underperformed this year, but their shares are attractive at current levels.

Block and Fiverr have been underperforming in 2025, but both companies possess significant long-term growth potential. Block, a fintech leader, has a strong market position and a portable POS system that can extract more value from its ecosystem. Fiverr, on the other hand, has barely scratched the surface of its massive addressable market in the gig economy. Despite their recent struggles, both stocks are attractive at current levels.

Block's shares have declined this year due to disappointing financial results, but the company has rebounded somewhat over the past month. Its shares are still down 20% year to date. However, several factors suggest that Block could deliver excellent performances over the long run. First, Block is an innovator, gaining popularity due to its sleek point-of-sale systems, which were especially well suited for small and medium-sized businesses. This allowed Block to create a seller ecosystem and extract more value from its transactions. Additionally, Block's entry into the digital wallet market with Square Cash App has further bolstered its position in the fintech sector [1].

Fiverr, which operates in the gig economy, has significantly lagged broader equities since its 2019 IPO. However, the company has barely scratched the surface of its massive addressable market. Fiverr's platform connects freelancers with clients, offering a wide range of services from graphic design to programming. As the gig economy continues to grow, Fiverr's user base and revenue potential are likely to expand. Furthermore, Fiverr's recent acquisition of ClearVoice, a voice-over service, further diversifies its offerings and enhances its competitive position [3].

While both stocks have underperformed this year, their shares are attractive at current levels. Investors should consider these factors when evaluating Block and Fiverr for long-term growth potential.
