Analysts haven’t had much to say regarding the upcoming release, with the $2.11 per share estimate up a fractional 0.5% since the end of April. Still, the company is forecasted to see solid growth, with estimates implying 7% earnings growth on 11% higher revenues.  

Market participants will likely put focus on Visa’s Total Payment Volume (TPV), a critical metric for the company’s success. The Zacks Consensus estimate for TPV presently implies growth of 7% from the same period last year.

Visa bounced back and positively surprised on TPV in its latest release following three consecutive misses, exceeding the Zacks Consensus estimate by roughly 1%.
