Visa will release its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results after the market closes on Tuesday, Oct. 27. Executives will host a live webcast at 2 p.m. PT.
Why it matters: Visa handles payments in more than 200 countries and territories, so its results are an early read on consumer spending. It reports the same week as the Fed decision and the first estimate of third-quarter GDP.
The numbers
Analysts expect $3.43 a share, up about 15% from $2.98 a year earlier, according to the Nasdaq consensus cited by StockTitan.
Visa will file the results with the SEC and post them at investor.visa.com. It will send a news-wire alert when the materials go live.
A webcast replay will stay up for 30 days.
Quiet period
Visa says it is in its usual "quiet period," so executives are not talking with investors until the results are out on Tuesday.
Same night
Menlo Park-based Robinhood also reports Tuesday after the close.
