Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 18% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published January 5, 2026
Visa looks positioned to bounce back soon. A new partnership with Fiserv and more activity from Visa-issued crypto cards should boost how many transactions the network handles and the services it can sell. After a recent dip, the plan is to expect a return to recent levels in the next 0-3 months, though broad market weakness could delay that.
Primary drivers
- New commerce partnership should increase extra paid services
- More shoppers using digital payments grows transaction counts
- Rising use of crypto-linked cards adds extra transactions and visibility
- Stable, high-quality business is easier to hold during choppy markets
