AT A GLANCE

Q4 2026 earnings recap

Visa beat fiscal fourth-quarter profit and revenue forecasts as spending stayed resilient, but its new outlook puts customer incentives and taxes in focus.

  • Adjusted profit per share was $3.48 versus a $3.44 forecast, while revenue rose 13% to $12.14 billion and edged above the $12.09 billion estimate.
  • Payment volume grew 9% and cross-border volume excluding transactions within Europe grew 14%, supporting the fees Visa earns when customers use its network.
  • Management expects fiscal 2027 adjusted revenue growth in the low double digits and adjusted profit-per-share growth from low double digits to low teens, excluding currency effects.
  • Customer incentives rose 21% to $5.1 billion, and renewals covering about a quarter of payment volume could keep these revenue deductions elevated next year.
  • The dividend increased 16% to $0.78 a quarter, while the pre-release share price valued Visa at about 33 times its latest annual reported earnings.
  • Shares closed at $401.86 before the report, with $397–$404 a recent support area and $409–$415 the next resistance zone.

Watch whether spending and higher-value services offset rising incentives and taxes, while weaker travel or new payment regulation could pressure growth.

U.S.-listed companies from the app’s catalog. Medians use saved positive P/E values; coverage and snapshot dates vary.

How this comparison works

Uses the saved companies from the same industry and listing market, including V, ordered by cached market cap. Company snapshots can have different dates; the web cache may cover fewer metrics and periods than the app.

Periods end at each company’s dated price snapshot. Change compares the latest saved observation with one at or before the selected period’s start. A daily price change uses consecutive saved sessions. Financial data updates quarterly, so short periods may show no change. Missing history and zero starting values are excluded; a negative starting value uses its absolute value as the denominator.

Metrics use saved ratios and percentages. Market caps use the listing market’s reporting currency; underlying financial statements may use different currencies. Circle sizes have a minimum for touch visibility, and an outlined circle indicates a missing market cap. These comparisons describe data, not recommendations or price predictions.
