Square has been an outlier in this week's payment stock wreckage.

shares were on pace for the worst week since 2008 after the company issued a warning that the fast-spreading virus could weigh on revenue this year. American Express and Visa have not changed guidance, but were both heading for their worst week in roughly a decade.

Square operates in the U.K., Canada, Australia and Japan. International revenue grew at 52% year over year fourth quarter. The company said international growth is compounding at roughly twice the average rate.
