Visa fiscal Q2 net income rises 32% to $6.0 billion; $20.0 billion buyback authorized
Visa reported fiscal second quarter 2026 GAAP net income of $6.0 billion, or $3.14 per share, up 32% and 36% from a year earlier, on net revenue of $11.2 billion, up 17%. The board also authorized a new $20.0 billion multi-year share repurchase program and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.670 per share, which matters to shareholders because it returns more cash to holders while the company's results improved.
