Catalysts The Benefits of Visa’s Global Reach Visa processes more than $11.6 trillion in gross dollar volume (GDV), made up primarily of digital payments with the remainder being things like ATM withdrawals, B2B transactions, etc.
Key Takeaways Visa is a very high-quality business with an enviable market share and margins. New initiatives like Visa Direct will offset the loss of momentum from legacy growth drivers EPS growth will be driven by ‘higher for longer’ inflation, slightly wider margins, and buybacks.
Key Takeaways Growing digital adoption, e-commerce expansion, and emerging market initiatives are strengthening Visa's payment volumes and supporting long-term revenue growth. Accelerating value-added services and cross-border solutions are increasing higher-margin business mix and broadening Visa's revenue streams.
