Market participants seem to be comfortable that the economy will be able to find ways to overcome any challenges from rising COVID-19 case counts. As of 11:30 a.m. EDT, the&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average&nbsp;(DJINDICES: ^DJI) was up 121 points to 35,057. The&nbsp;S&amp;P 500&nbsp;(SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) gained 18 points to 4,414, and the&nbsp;Nasdaq Composite&nbsp;(NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) picked up 93 points to 14,765.\nOver the weekend,Square(NYSE: SQ) surprised investors by releasing earnings early and announcing a huge acquisition. Yet even though the move will ramp up competition pressures on another key player in the buy-now, pay-later&nbsp;fintech space, shares of a key rival to the company that Square bought out also moved higher. Below, we'll look at why Wall Street seems to think this competitor could be the next acquisition target.\nSquare buys Afterpay\nShares of Square moved higher by 11% on Monday morning. The electronic payments specialist and fintech disruptor made a major strategic move by acquiring Australia's&nbsp;Afterpay(OTC: AFTP.F) in a deal worth $29 billion.\n<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/e2f0523d278e42ca08e7b9fb7e9f13de\" tg-width=\"2000\" tg-height=\"1505\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">IMAGE SOURCE: SQUARE.\nUnder the terms of the deal,Afterpay shareholders will receive 0.375 shares of Square&nbsp;for every Afterpay share they own. Square reserved the right to pay a modest 1% of the total value of the deal in cash rather than shares, presumably allowing for redemptions of fractional shares as necessary.\nThe deal has benefits for both parties. For Afterpay, access to Square will dramatically accelerate its efforts to penetrate the U.S. market with its installment payment service. Meanwhile, Square will gain visibility in the increasingly popular buy-now, pay-later space, as younger consumers seem to prefer that method of shopping compared with credit cards and other ways to buy without making full payment up front.\nThe all-stock deal allows Square to use its high-flying shares as currency for a smart acquisition. Interestingly, though, a company that's going to be one of Square's main competitors also gained on the day.\nAffirming the value of buy-now, pay-later\nShares of&nbsp;Affirm Holdings(Nasdaq: AFRM) were up even more sharply than Square, gaining 14%. The move comes despite the fact that Affirm will face plenty of pressure from a combined Square and Afterpay, but it seems to reflect expectations that another player in the fintech industry will swoop in to offer Affirm a deal that shareholders can't refuse.\nAffirm has made big strides forward, building on an initial relationship with connected fitness specialist&nbsp;Peloton Interactive&nbsp;by forging a partnership with e-commerce enabler&nbsp;Shopify. The move higher for the stock comes after a brief drop on news that&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;would look to offer its own direct installment payment service.\nSquare's strategic acquisition raised the obvious question of whether another company will come in to buy Affirm.PayPal Holdingswas seen building its own buy-now, pay-later service, but it could seek to accelerate its efforts by buying Affirm. Similarly, card giants lik&nbsp;eVisa&nbsp;or&nbsp;Mastercard&nbsp;have been known to make strategic acquisitions of innovative companies in order to keep pace with transformative efforts in the payments space.\nIt's too early to tell exactly what will happen with Affirm. However, Square's purchase of Afterpay ups the stakes in what was already a popular investment area.\n","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Square Just Bought Afterpay, and Wall Street's Betting This Fintech Stock Could Be Next</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nSquare Just Bought Afterpay, and Wall Street's Betting This Fintech Stock Could Be Next\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-08-03 10:55 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/02/square-just-bought-afterpay-and-wall-streets-betti/>Motley Fool</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\nKey Points\n\nMarkets moved higher on Monday.\nSquare made a massive acquisition in the buy-now, pay-later space.\nA competing stock also saw big gains.\n\n\nInvestors often seem to start a new month on a ...\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/02/square-just-bought-afterpay-and-wall-streets-betti/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"SQ":"Block"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/08/02/square-just-bought-afterpay-and-wall-streets-betti/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1145722957","content_text":"Key Points\n\nMarkets moved higher on Monday.\nSquare made a massive acquisition in the buy-now, pay-later space.\nA competing stock also saw big gains.\n\n\nInvestors often seem to start a new month on a positive note, and Monday saw sustained gains for major market benchmarks.
