12:05 PM EDT, 07/30/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We raise our 12-month target price by $15 to $445, valuing shares at 34.2x our FY 26 (Sep.) EPS, a premium to V's five-year historical average of 30.9x given momentum in value-added services. We increase our FY 25 EPS estimate to $11.54 from $11.43 and FY 26's to $13.02 from $12.96. The downfall of Visa has become a popular prediction in recent years as the payment space rapidly evolves. However, we continue to believe Visa has the upper hand given an extremely innovative management team that adopts new payment trends rather than resisting them. The latest concern centers on the rise of stablecoins. Yet, Visa is proactively developing solutions and identifying growth opportunities, particularly in emerging markets and cross-border payments. The company has already launched stablecoin-linked cards globally and partners with banks to help them issue their own stablecoins. Fundamentally, Visa's core metrics remain strong - both payment volumes and cross-border volumes continue growing at healthy rates.
