Read MoreHide Full Article
Visa (V - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $205.06, moving +0.73% from the previous trading session. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 1.15% loss on the day. At the same time, the Dow lost 0.52%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq lost 0.34%.
Coming into today, shares of the global payments processor had gained 2.04% in the past month. In that same time, the Business Services sector lost 5.8%, while the S&P 500 lost 5.08%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from Visa as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be July 26, 2022. On that day, Visa is projected to report earnings of $1.74 per share, which would represent year-over-year growth of 16.78%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $7.05 billion, up 14.97% from the year-ago period.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $7.16 per share and revenue of $28.64 billion, which would represent changes of +21.15% and +18.81%, respectively, from the prior year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for Visa. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate has moved 0.1% higher within the past month. Visa is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.

Also, we should mention that V has a PEG ratio of 1.73. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account.
