Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) is among the 12 Best Performing Dow Stocks in 2025.
TheFly revealed on December 11 that BofA analyst Mihir Bhatia assigned a $382 price objective and upgraded Visa Inc. from Neutral to Buy. Bhatia noted the shares offer “very attractive return potential,” considering the company’s recent poor performance. Additionally, the analyst said that Visa Inc. is still a premier business and described regulatory and litigation issues as manageable, and noted stablecoins as a potential opportunity.
TheFly previously reported on December 8 that HSBC had upgraded Visa Inc. from Hold to Buy with a price objective of $389, up from $335. The company’s solid financial performance and valuation were cited by the firm as reasons for the upgrade. Value-added services have a long development runway, according to HSBC, whereas Commercial & Money Movement Solutions provide more potential. The analyst underlined that Visa Inc.’s appealing financial algorithm remains intact as these services continue to create explosive growth.
Visa Inc.’s last quarter results were marginally above Wall Street projections, due to strong U.S. consumer spending and higher volumes of transactions. The company reported that cross-border payments had not been affected by tariffs, despite a 9% YoY increase in global payments volume.
Furthermore, Visa Inc. released a positive forecast for FY26, predicting low double-digit net revenue growth. Although overall volumes were still high enough to sustain a profit beat, cross-border growth slowed throughout the quarter.
