The stock fell short of the S&P 500, which registered a loss of 0.19% for the day. Meanwhile, the Dow experienced a drop of 0.55%, and the technology-dominated Nasdaq saw a decrease of 0.18%.
The global payments processor's stock has climbed by 0.81% in the past month, falling short of the Business Services sector's gain of 12.42% and the S&P 500's gain of 6.66%.
The upcoming earnings release of Visa will be of great interest to investors. The company's earnings per share (EPS) are projected to be $2.67, reflecting a 10.79% increase from the same quarter last year. In the meantime, our current consensus estimate forecasts the revenue to be $9.35 billion, indicating an 8.34% growth compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
Looking at the full year, the Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $11.19 per share and revenue of $39.34 billion. These totals would mark changes of +11.34% and +9.51%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also pay attention to any latest changes in analyst estimates for Visa. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To exploit this, we've formed the Zacks Rank, a quantitative model that includes these estimate changes and presents a viable rating system.
Ranging from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), the Zacks Rank system has a proven, outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks returning an average of +25% annually since 1988. Over the past month, the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.07% higher. Visa is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
From a valuation perspective, Visa is currently exchanging hands at a Forward P/E ratio of 27.69. This signifies a premium in comparison to the average Forward P/E of 16.16 for its industry.
We can additionally observe that V currently boasts a PEG ratio of 2.08. Comparable to the widely accepted P/E ratio, the PEG ratio also accounts for the company's projected earnings growth. As of the close of trade yesterday, the Financial Transaction Services industry held an average PEG ratio of 1.35.
