Visa (ISIN US92826C8394) was trading at EUR 344.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 11:34 a.m. CEST. On October 1, Visa reported that business and commercial programs represented 17.00 percent of stablecoin-linked card volume in fiscal 2026 year to date, while Moomoo reported on October 9 that Barclays maintained a Buy rating and a USD 420.00 target.

Stablecoins move into business payments

Visa's October 1 release said the company supports more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs across consumer, business and commercial activity. Payment volume across those programs had grown nearly 200.00 percent year over year, giving the initiative a measurable commercial-payment angle rather than a purely experimental one.

The same release linked stablecoins to settlement, treasury management, payouts and cross-border commerce. For investors, the key operating question is conversion: the 17.00 percent business and commercial share shows adoption within corporate payment flows, while the 160-plus program count shows distribution across multiple customer groups.

Quarterly growth sets the earnings backdrop

According to MarketBeat on October 9, Visa reported USD 11.63 billion of revenue and USD 3.32 of earnings per share for fiscal third quarter 2026 on July 28. Revenue rose 14.40 percent year over year, while earnings per share exceeded the USD 3.23 consensus estimate by USD 0.09.

Visa's fiscal third-quarter operating picture also included 10.00 percent year-over-year growth in constant-dollar payments volume and 10.00 percent growth in processed transactions, according to the same dated results coverage. The figures matter because stablecoin initiatives are being added to a network that is already expanding through conventional payment activity.

What comes before the next results?

Visa announced on October 8 that it will publish fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results on October 27, 2026, after the market closes. The company also scheduled its results webcast for October 27, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
