Visa Inc. (ISIN US92826C8394) was trading at EUR 330.40 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:04 p.m. CEST, up 0.42 percent from the prior close of EUR 329.03. Zacks said on October 5, 2026 that its consensus estimate implies 15.30 percent fiscal 2026 earnings per share growth for Visa.
Stablecoins widen the payment network
Zacks reported that Visa supported more than 160 stablecoin-linked card programs in fiscal 2026 year to date. Stablecoin-linked payment volume rose nearly 200 percent year over year, while settlement volume exceeded a USD 20.00 billion annualized run rate.
The figures give Visa a second growth route beyond card spending. Stablecoin settlement can connect issuers, merchants and cross-border payments to Visa's existing network, but the commercial value depends on converting higher transaction volume into durable service fees.
Services add a second earnings engine
Visa's fiscal third-quarter revenue was USD 11.63 billion, up 14.40 percent from the year-earlier quarter, while earnings per share reached USD 3.32 versus USD 2.98 a year earlier, according to MarketBeat on October 5, 2026. The revenue result also exceeded the USD 11.40 billion consensus estimate.
Zacks said value-added services revenue rose to USD 3.80 billion in the fiscal third quarter from USD 2.80 billion a year earlier. That 35.71 percent increase matters because service revenue broadens Visa's fee base beyond payment volume.
Analyst target sets the valuation debate
Zacks reported an average analyst price target of USD 421.05 on October 5, 2026, with individual targets ranging from USD 330.00 to USD 466.00. Its fiscal 2026 revenue consensus implies 14.60 percent growth, adding a quantified benchmark for the October earnings discussion.
TIKR reported that Visa's processed transactions rose 10.00 percent year over year to 71.70 billion in the fiscal third quarter. The same report said Visa guided for fiscal fourth-quarter net revenue growth at the high end of the low double digits, adjusted for currency.
