Title: Visa Reports Record Q3 Earnings with Strong Growth in Net Revenue and EPS

Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) reported robust third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings, with net revenue of $10.2 billion, up 14.3% year-over-year (YoY), and earnings per share (EPS) growing 23.1% YoY to $2.98. The company's strong performance was driven by increased payment volumes, processed transactions, and cross-border activity, which contributed to a 14.3% YoY increase in net revenue [1].

The company's payment volume climbed 8% in constant dollars, with processed transactions up 10% YoY to 65.4 billion. Cross-border volume, excluding intra-Europe, rose 11% in constant dollars, highlighting resilience in international travel and commerce. Commercial payments volume rose 7% YoY, while Visa Direct, its real-time payment platform, soared 25%.

Data processing revenues came in at $5.2 billion (up 15%), while international transaction revenue climbed 14% to $3.6 billion. Other revenues surged 32% YoY to $1 billion. However, operating expenses grew 13% YoY to $3.3 billion, driven by higher marketing personnel costs and general and administrative expenses [1].

Visa's forward-looking guidance remains optimistic, with a continued focus on innovation in AI and stablecoins. The company anticipates high-single-digit to low-double-digit growth in net revenues and EPS for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2025 overall [1].
