Visa CEO: "Within spend categories in the U.S., we saw relative stability to Q2 when adjusted for the leap year impacts. Both U.S. discretionary and non-discretionary spend growth remain strong, and we see no meaningful impact from tariffs." $V https://t.co/6cmdWjVJqm
Visa CEO: "In Q3 and through July 21st, even with the continued uncertainty, consumer spending remains resilient. Within the U.S., while spending growth differed among consumer spend bands, all spend bands in Q3 remain resilient and consistent with past quarters." $V https://t.co/Gd73Ks9Idu
Visa Inc. beat Wall Street expectations for its fiscal third quarter, buoyed by steady consumer spending at home and abroad. Revenue rose 14% from a year earlier to a record $10.2 billion, surpassing the $9.8 billion consensus, while adjusted earnings climbed to $2.98 a share versus forecasts of $2.85. Adjusted net income increased 19% to $5.8 billion; on a GAAP basis profit was up 8%. Underlying activity remained strong across most regions. Cross-border payment volume advanced 12% and processed transactions grew 10%, with Europe, Latin America and the Middle East posting double-digit gains and Asia lagging. Chief Executive Officer Ryan McInerney said both discretionary and non-discretionary spending “remain strong,” and that the company has seen “no meaningful impact” from the United States’ new 145% tariff on Chinese goods. Despite the better-than-expected quarter, Visa left its full-year guidance unchanged, still projecting low-double-digit revenue growth and about a 15% rise in earnings per share. The decision disappointed some investors, sending the stock down roughly 2% to 3% in late trading.
