Guidance and outlook
Forward-looking statements, 10-K filed Nov 5, 2026
- We expect that the ongoing shift toward digital commerce and electronic payments will continue; however, the extent to which these trends support volume increases will depend on a number of factors, including consumer spending levels and broader macroeconomic conditions.
- We will continue to assess our liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of our operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions and other relevant circumstances.
- new · Pursuant to the terms of the U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, which was created to insulate Visa and our class A common shareholders from financial liability for certain litigation cases, we maintain a U.S. litigation escrow account from which monetary liabilities from settlements of, or judgments in, the U.S. covered litigation will be payable.
- new · Share repurchases will be executed at prices we deem appropriate subject to various factors, including market conditions and our financial performance, and may be effected through accelerated share repurchase programs, open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, including through Rule 10b5-1 plans .
- We expect to continue paying quarterly dividends in cash, subject to approval by the board of directors.
- new · For obligations where the individual years of spend are not specified in the contract, we have estimated the timing of when these amounts will be spent.
- new · In response to these regulations, we have submitted to the Central Bank of Brazil enhanced operating rule provisions, which, when approved, are expected to increase our settlement exposure and related collateral requirements.
- new · Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.
