<p><a href="https://www.ft.com/content/6c390cc1-f5b8-4096-a361-c53d8145b85a">https://www.ft.com/content/6c390cc1-f5b8-4096-a361-c53d8145b85a</a><br /><br />Donald Trump is considering tapping North Dakota's Doug Burgum to be his new "energy tsar", giving the oil state's governor sweeping power to slash environmental regulations and boost US fossil fuels output. Burgum, a billionaire businessman who ran in the Republican primary race this year before endorsing Trump, is the president-elect's preferred candidate for the role, said people familiar with the discussions. Former energy secretary Dan Brouillette is also a contender. Trump is weighing the reappointment of officials from his first term to senior energy roles as he looks to battle-hardened veterans to overhaul rules on everything from vehicle emissions to oil and gas leasing. The new energy tsar role and its powers are not yet finalised, but people familiar with the plans said it would co-ordinate Trump's deregulatory agenda across a patchwork of agencies including the Department of Energy, Department of Interior, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and Environmental Protection Agency. The energy tsar role would likely replace the "climate tsar" — or National Climate Advisor — established by Joe Biden's White House, underlining the stark shift in emphasis by the new administration. Among other Trump administration veterans being considered for a return to Washington are former interior secretary David Bernhardt and former EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler, said people familiar with the thinking of Trump's transition team. In a sign Trump is prioritising experience in his second term, Brouillette, Bernhardt and Wheeler are all seen as contenders to return to their previous positions. Wheeler declined to comment. The other candidates did not respond to requests for comment. Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the Trump-Vance transition team said the president-elect would make cabinet decisions "soon" and the appointments "will be announced when they are made". The president-elect has vowed to gut at least 10 regulations across the federal government for every new one created and said he would appoint Tesla chief executive Elon Musk to helm a new efficiency commission "tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government and making recommendations for drastic reforms". Rules governing climate and energy are set to bear the brunt of the regulatory bonfire. Trump has railed against the EPA's car emissions rules, calling them "the insane electric vehicle mandate", and is also likely to remove curbs on oil and gas drilling on federal lands. Cynthia Lummis, US senator for Wyoming, and Katherine MacGregor, former deputy secretary of the interior, are both also seen as candidates to lead the interior department. Paul Dabbar, a tech executive and former DoE official, is also seen as a contender for energy secretary. Lumis, McGregor and Dabbar also did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the roles, but a spokesperson for the senator said she would work to help Trump roll back Biden's "egregious public lands policies". Burgum was previously considered a top contender to be Trump's vice-president and was with Trump at his final rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday and on election night at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Brouillette last week stepped down as head of the Edison Electric Institute, the leading US utility lobby group "to broaden my focus to the overarching issues facing our global energy landscape".</p>

</ul>
<p><strong>Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Needham</strong>: Block's GPV (gross payment volume) came in at $62.5 billion, up 4% year-on-year, but missed consensus of $64.33 billion consensus, while gross profit of $2.25 billion, beat consensus of $2.24 billion, Tandon said. Although GPV weakness weighed on transaction revenues, "healthy margins and operating leverage fueled better profitability," he added.</p>
<p>The company raised its full-year guidance due to better third-quarter results, but its fourth-quarter outlook was "lighter than expected on both gross profit and EBITDA," the analyst stated. "We believe the softer 4Q guide reflects persistent pressure on Seller GPV growth and higher than expected investments in sales and marketing," he further wrote.</p>
<p><strong>JPMorgan</strong>: Block's quarterly results were "solid," but the negative surprise was a reduction in the fourth-quarter guidance, Huang said. Management's preliminary 2025 outlook of at least 15% growth in gross profit "assumes acceleration through the year inclusive of improving Square GPV growth, a critical watch item for investors given underperformance vs. peers and the market," he added.</p>
<p>"With this guide, the execution bar has been set higher for next year," the analyst wrote. While gross profit growth decelerated through the year in 2024, Block will need to "accelerate from a +14% exit rate in FY24, putting its various product, GTM and organizational initiatives to the test for it to achieve similar upside as it has this year," he further wrote.</p>
<p><strong>Stephens</strong>: Block's third-quarter beat was driven by expense control, Nabhan said. Cash App's gross profit grew by 21% year-on-year, while Square's gross profit rose 16%, with GPV decelerating to 7.6% year-on-year, from 8% in the second quarter, he added.</p>
<p>The company raised its full-year adjusted operating income by $120 million, which reflected the third-quarter beat, the analyst stated. "Given GP growth/adj op margin of 18%, the outlook equates to 36% on a rule of 40 basis, vs. 35% prior," he further wrote.</p>
<p><strong>Oppenheimer</strong>: Block's adjusted EBITDA grew 69% to $807 million and beat consensus of $707 million, but total GPV rose by only 2%, missing Street&#8217;s 5% estimate, Kumar said. Cash App's GPV contracted by 40%, versus Street&#8217;s estimate of a 9% decline, while Square's GPV growth of 8% came in-line with expectations, he added.</p>
<p>Investor concerns around the company's slowing top-line growth "were evident in results," the analyst stated. Block seems well-positioned for continued market share gains, but upside potential is limited by its "relatively high exposure to discretionary consumer spend, small businesses and the non-affluent demographic," he further wrote.</p>
<p><strong>Price Action:</strong> Shares of Block had declined by 5.52% to $71.08 at the time of publication on Friday.</p>
