Key Observation 

Visa delivered strong, market-beating results in Q3 FY2025, underpinned by its diversified business model, global scale, commitment to innovation, and client-centric approach. The company reported a 14% year-over-year (YoY) increase in revenue and a 23% YoY surge in Non-GAAP EPSdemonstrating robust business drivers and efficient executionThree major sell-side firms (HSBCBofA Global ResearchGoldman Sachs Research) generally concurred that the revenue beat was primarily attributable to robust data processing revenues, lower-than-expected client incentives, and healthy transaction volume growth. Despite the impact of substantial litigation reserves, which led to a significant increase in GAAP operating expenses, core business indicators, including Payments VolumeCross-Border Volume, and Processed Transactions, maintained a healthy growth trajectory, reflecting continued consumer spending resilience. Management emphasized its continued focus on sustained innovation and market expansion across its three growth pillars—consumer payments, commercial & money movement solutions, and value-added services—while actively pursuing product development in dynamic areas such as AI and Stablecoin to shape the future of commerce and drive long-term value.

HSBC noted that while Q4 FY2025 earnings performance anticipates a potential slowdown in net revenue and adjusted EPS growth, it maintained a "Hold" rating given Visa's healthy transaction volume and revenue trends, and the company's unchanged full-year FY2025 net revenue and adjusted EPS growth guidance. BofA Global Research maintained a "Neutral" rating, primarily citing concerns over Q4 EPS expectations falling below market consensus, ongoing worries regarding future revenue growth algorithms, and potential litigation and regulatory risks. Goldman Sachs Research opined that despite the strong Q3 FY2025 earnings report, market comments on slightly lower-than-expected cross-border volume growth and Q4 incentives somewhat overshadowed the robust spending trends and better-than-expected results.For full content please see: Visa 3Q25 Earnings Review - Jason & his AI analyst

Key Observation 

Visa2025财年第三季度凭借其多元化的业务模式、全球化的规模、对创新的承诺以及以客户为中心,取得了超出市场预期的强劲业绩。公司营收同比实现14%的增长,非GAAP EPS同比大增23%,显示出稳健的业务驱动力和高效的执行力三大卖方机构(HSBCBofA Global ResearchGoldman Sachs Research)普遍认为,营收超预期主要得益于数据处理收入强劲、客户激励低于预期以及交易量健康增长。尽管受到大额法律诉讼准备金的影响,导致GAAP运营费用大幅增加,但核心业务指标,包括Payments VolumeCross-Border VolumeProcessed Transactions均保持健康增长趋势,消费者支出表现出持续韧性。公司管理层强调,将继续专注于三大增长支柱——消费者支付、商业与资金流动解决方案及增值服务上的持续创新和市场拓展,并积极在AIStablecoin等动态领域进行产品开发,以塑造商业未来并实现长期价值

HSBC指出,尽管2025年第四季度业绩表现预示净收入和调整后EPS增长可能放缓,但鉴于Visa的交易量和收入趋势依然健康,且公司维持了其2025财年全年的净收入和调整后EPS增长指引不变,因此维持了“Hold”评级。BofA Global Research则维持“Neutral”评级,主要关注F4Q EPS预期低于市场共识,以及对未来营收增长算法、潜在诉讼和监管风险的持续担忧。Goldman Sachs Research认为,尽管F3Q25财报表现强劲,但市场对跨境交易量增速略低于预期以及F4Q激励措施的评论,在一定程度上掩盖了其稳健的支出趋势和超预期的业绩。全文详见: Visa 3Q25 Earnings Review - Jason & his AI analyst
