Visa Quarterly Earnings Signal Reviving Economy

By John F. Heerdink, Jr.

Visa (V) earnings are showing signs of recovery as an increase in online shopping helped the world’s biggest payment processor quarterly earnings beat Wall Street estimates and overcome sluggish travel spending. Visa’s total payment volumes increased 11% on a constant dollar basis. Visa’s net revenue dropped 2% to $5.73 billion in the second quarter ending March 31 but was higher than analysts’ expectations of $5.61 billion. U.S. debit card volumes soared 31% to $806 billion. 

Visa reported a net income of $1.38 per share, in comparison to analysts’ estimates of $1.27 per share. CEO Alfred Kelly informed, the company witnessed positive growth for credit, debit, and eCommerce. However, the pandemic restrictions and second wave of COVID-19 cases in several parts of the world have forced travelers to put travel on hold, pushing cross-border volumes at Visa down 11%.

“Visa has weathered the COVID storm and is emerging from the pandemic even stronger,” stated Chief Executive Officer Alfred Kelly Jr.
