Portfolio Pulse from Priya Nigam
Visa Inc (NYSE:V) reported a fiscal second quarter earnings beat with a share price increase of 0.86% to $276.47. Analysts from Goldman Sachs, Oppenheimer, Wedbush, BMO Capital Markets, Keefe Bruyette & Woods, and Mizuho Securities provided positive outlooks, with adjustments to price targets and reaffirmations of ratings. The earnings beat was attributed to solid revenue trends, strong consulting and marketing services revenue, and resilient cross-border trends. Despite softer trends in April due to Easter timing and lowered volume guidance in the APAC region, expectations for improving ticket sizes in the US and the rest of the world remain. Visa's full-year guidance was reiterated, reflecting confidence in achieving low double-digit top-line growth and earnings growth in the low teens.
