Current trend

The corrective trend in the shares of Visa Inc., a company providing payment transaction services, continues at 277.00.

In the middle of last month, there were reports of an intention to acquire the British company Featurespace for 730.0 million pounds, which is developing an architecture for transaction tracking using artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, the management announced the financing of its escrow account in the amount of 1.5 billion dollars, which was created as part of the strategy and serves to settle possible litigation and other proceedings, and the transfer of such a significant amount to it indicates the intention of Visa Inc. to demonstrate financial stability. The essence of this account is that funds in favor of the victim are transferred immediately after the court decision is rendered.

Visa Inc. will publish its financial results on October 22: according to forecasts, expected revenue will be 9.48 billion dollars, exceeding the previous figure of 8.90 billion dollars, and earnings per share (EPS) will increase to 2.58 dollars from 2.42 dollars.
