What Happened?
Visa (V) earned $24,367 million of its $40,000 million in fiscal 2025 operating revenue outside the U.S., or 60.9%, up from 53.7% in fiscal 2021, per TIKR segment data. International revenue grew at a compound annual rate of 17.1% over that span, versus 8.8% in the U.S. That overseas engine sits where banks and governments are building payment infrastructure of their own. No company-specific news has moved the stock in recent sessions; shares closed at $360.66 on October 2, 2026, up 2.84% from their 2025 close.
Britain’s New Payments Utility Includes NatWest, and Visa Itself
On September 14, Sky News reported that the UK Payments Delivery Company would launch an equity raise for infrastructure that could eventually rival Visa and Mastercard (MA) domestically. According to Sky News, the raise targets about £50 million. The company’s stated job is narrower: it will procure the system replacing Faster Payments and Bacs, Britain’s interbank rails. UK Finance said 19 organizations backed its early mobilization. Sky reported that those include the four largest high street banks, with Visa and Mastercard also involved.
NatWest, one of those four, is also a new Visa client. On Visa’s fiscal third-quarter call on July 28, management said Visa had won the entire consumer credit portfolio of NatWest’s retail bank. UK banks are modernizing domestic rails while still handing Visa their card business, and Visa holds a seat in the project.

McInerney’s Answer: Build Locally, Win at the Border
CEO Ryan McInerney told the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference on September 8 that sovereignty concerns in Europe are not new but have “become an even elevated topic in recent years.” Visa’s response is local investment: an additional €500 million in Europe over the coming decade, including a Eurozone data center and a Frankfurt headquarters. He called Wero “another domestic wallet,” while saying he expects it to make progress and add competition.
Domestic systems compete for domestic payments. Visa’s cross-border role is harder to replace: McInerney said a traveler can land in almost any country and “not have to worry about how they’re going to pay for things.” Visa Direct reaches 18 billion endpoints. Pairing Pismo with Visa’s DPS debit platform, he said, lets Visa “combine the best of both worlds for small, midsized banks and fintechs.”
Shares trade at 24.94x NTM P/E as of October 2, versus 27.41x at the end of 2025. Visa’s investor relations materials show fiscal third-quarter revenue up 14.36% to $11,633 million. GAAP EPS of $2.97 missed the $3.18 estimate after $563 million in severance costs and a $237 million litigation provision. Of 41 analyst recommendations, 27 are Buy, 9 Outperform, 3 Hold, 1 Underperform, and 1 No Opinion, with a mean target of around $419.

The TIKR mid case, realized September 30, 2030, values Visa at around $683, a ~89% total return from $360.66, or ~17% a year over 4.0 years. The mid case reflects the model’s central path. Its 10-year (2025 to 2035) assumptions call for revenue growth around 10% a year, net income margin near 54%, and a slightly lower P/E, so returns rest on growth rather than a rerating. Upside comes if new national systems stay focused on domestic interbank payments while cross-border spending compounds. Downside comes if the sovereignty policy shifts domestic card volume off Visa’s network, squeezing growth and the multiple together.
Conclusion
Visa’s fiscal fourth-quarter report is expected in late October, though Visa had not confirmed a date as of October 4. Consensus calls for adjusted EPS around $3.43 on revenue near $12.1 billion, and the Street models fiscal 2027 normalized EPS growth around 13%. In Britain, the Bank of England-led Retail Payments Infrastructure Board is due to deliver its blueprint in the first quarter of 2027, per Sky News. A blueprint that stays on interbank rails leaves Visa’s UK card business less exposed. One that reaches into card routing would put part of that 60.9% international base in play.
