For most of 2016, Square’s adjusted revenue growth rates were consistently decelerating quarter-over-quarter. As they did, Square stock went nowhere. Then, in the first quarter of 2017, Square’s adjusted revenue growth rate bottomed at 39%. Over the next six quarters, Square’s adjusted revenue growth consistently accelerated quarter-over-quarter, topping out at 68% in the third quarter of 2018. Over that stretch of adjusted revenue growth acceleration, Square stock went from $10 to $100.
Then, adjusted revenue growth rates started decelerating again. From the third quarter of 2018 to the third quarter of 2019, Square’s adjusted revenue growth rate steadily dropped from 68% to 40%. As it has, Square stock has dropped from $100 to $60.
