Square (SQ, $78.00) gets rating boost from Raymond James analyst, on business-to-business seller card outlook

Square shares climbed on Tuesday, following a rating upgrade by Raymond James analysts.

Raymond James analysts raised their rating on the financial services/mobile payment company to market perform from underperform. Analyst John Davis said that his short thesis from late January has mostly played out, and he is now optimistic on Square’s business-to-business seller card and believes that it could lead to above-expectations performance in H2 2019.

Davis also indicated that while Square's performance has fallen behind peers over the last couple of quarters due to disappointing second-quarter guidance, the headwinds for the company have now receded.
