What happened

Visa reported fourth-quarter net income of $6.0 billion, or $3.19 per share, up 18%, and revenue up 13% to $12.14 billion. The board raised the quarterly dividend 16% to $0.78 per share. The company also gave a forward outlook with low-double-digit growth targets.

Global impact / market context

Visa earns money from payments volume, cross-border transactions and processed transactions. Higher profit and revenue mean the business is still expanding. A higher dividend means more cash returned per share to shareholders. The forward outlook gives an early signal of how management expects the business to perform.

What to watch

  1. Check whether the raised quarterly dividend of $0.78 per share is actually paid in the next quarter, because that confirms the cash return to shareholders.
  2. Watch the company's forward outlook for low-double-digit growth targets, because it signals how management expects the business to perform.
  3. Monitor payments volume, cross-border transactions and processed transactions, because these drove the revenue increase and affect future profit.
