The Atlantic Equities analyst thinks the company's growth prospects "remain substantial" as it continues disrupting consumer and business banking through "strong execution against a digital-first strategy."

Malde also cited "multiple monetization levers ahead" for Square's Cash App and opportunities for the company in the buy now, pay later space.

Square provides payment acquiring services and other related services to merchants.
