On January 20, TheFly reported that Truist cut the price target on Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) to $374 from $392 and maintained a Buy rating. This downward revision in price is part of a broader research note previewing Q4 earnings in the fintech group.

The firm believes the quarter’s results should be strong, despite the likelihood of challenging YoY comparisons that could restrict volume-related outperformance. That said, even though Truist is bullish on the group for 2026, some management teams may try to lower Street estimates by reaffirming their initial guidance.

Earlier on January 13, UBS reiterated its Buy rating and $425 price target on Visa Inc. (NYSE:V). The firm projects the company’s net revenue growth to increase modestly in FY26 relative to the projection of nearly 11.5% organic constant currency growth for FY25. What’s even more interesting is that this expansion is expected to occur even without the backing from OBBBA-associated spending benefits that had majorly contributed to growth previously.

​Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) is a leading payments technology company based in California that promotes digital currency. Founded in 1958, the company serves private clients, financial entities, government institutions, and merchants in over 200 countries and territories.
