The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) ended the week with its first gain since Monday, lifting 0.3% to close at 7,307 points. That leaves it 0.54% lower than where it finished the previous week.

But not all was well on the index on Friday. The S&P/ASX 200 Materials Index (ASX: XMJ) tumbled 1.2% despite the Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE) share price jumping on the back of the company's record first-half revenue.

Fortunately, however, all other sectors ended the day in the green.

Leading the way was the S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ). It lifted 2.4%, helped along by the Block Inc (ASX: SQ2) share price, which gained 5.9% on the tech giant's quarterly earnings.

But Block wasn't today's top-performing ASX 200 share. Let's take a look at which stock took out the title on Friday.
