Delivered a strong fiscal third-quarter 2026 performance, with non-GAAP diluted EPS of $3.32 beating the $3.23 consensus estimate by 2.76%, extending the payments giant's streak of consensus EPS beats to four consecutive quarters. Net revenue climbed 14.4% year-over-year to $11.63 billion, clearing the $11.40 billion analyst estimate by 2.03%, as broad-based volume momentum carried the quarter. The single most compelling driver was data processing, which surged 17% year-over-year to $6.04 billion, underpinned by a 10% rise in processed transactions to 71.7 billion and equally solid growth in cross-border volume, which expanded 12% on a constant-dollar basis excluding intra-Europe. Visa returned $6.20 billion to shareholders through buybacks and dividends, repurchasing approximately 14.5 million shares at an average price of $331 per share. The results arrive as Visa's stock recently touched a new 52-week high, reflecting sustained investor confidence in the company's payments infrastructure and profitability outlook heading into the final stretch of its fiscal year.
