How Did Other Stocks Perform?
Here are some companies in the broader payments space that have already reported earnings for this quarter: American Express Company AXP, Mastercard Incorporated MA and Visa Inc. V.
American Express reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted EPS of $3.53, which missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.3%. Yet, the bottom line grew 16% year over year. Despite elevated customer engagement and operating cost levels, rising Card Member spending, revolving loan balances, and continued strong card fee growth aided American Express’ performance.
Mastercard reported fourth-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings of $4.76 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 13.3%. The bottom line advanced 25% year over year. The results benefited from strong cross-border volumes, an increase in switched transactions and solid growth in value-added services revenues. However, the upside was partly offset by Mastercard’s elevated operating expenses.
Visa reported first-quarter fiscal 2026 EPS of $3.17, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.14. The bottom line increased 15% year over year. The results benefited from higher payments and cross-border volumes. Resilient consumer spending remains a tailwind for Visa. However, the upside was partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower-than-expected processed transactions.
