Big Money Flows to Visa

V is one of the world’s largest payment networks, with its credit and debit cards in wallets around the globe. The company enjoys about 70% market share for payment cards in the U.S. And its international growth has been strong, with cross-border volumes (excluding within Europe) having rose 16% in the last quarter. Visa is also growing its business via direct global payments and tie-ins with cryptocurrencies.

As for earnings, V recently reported for the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Its international gains helped produce net revenue of $9.5 billion, which is up 10% from a year prior. V’s per-share earnings rose 14% on a year-over-year basis as well. These strong metrics enabled V to repurchase its shares and pay $1.2 billion in dividends to shareholders.

It’s no wonder V shares are up more than 9% this year – and they could rise more. MAPsignals data shows how Big Money investors are betting heavily on the forward picture of the stock.
