Visa (V) reports better-than-expected Q1 earnings

Visa (NYSE: V) stock fell 2.3% in after-hours trading after the payment processing giant unveiled financial results for the first quarter.

The company reported Q1 earnings per share (EPS) of $2.41, beating the consensus projection of $2.34. Revenue came in at $8.6 billion, up 9% year-over-year, and also above the estimated $8.55 billion.

On an adjusted basis, Visa’s net income increased to $4.9 billion in the quarter, up from $4.58 billion in the same period last year.

Payments volume rose 8% year-over-year in the three-month period on a constant-dollar basis.

"Our 2024 fiscal year is off to a solid start. In our first quarter, net revenues grew 9% and GAAP EPS grew 20%, driven by relatively stable growth in overall payments volume and processed transactions, plus strong growth in cross-border volume,” said Visa CEO Ryan McInerney.

“Consumer spending remained resilient. Looking ahead, we continue to see significant opportunity across consumer payments, new flows and value added Services."
