Visa boosts litigation escrow, impacting class B share conversion

Visa ( (V) ) has shared an update.

On December 23, 2025, Visa Inc. authorized a $500 million deposit into its U.S. litigation escrow account established under its U.S. retrospective responsibility plan, a mechanism designed to address certain legal liabilities. Under the plan’s structure, funding this escrow triggers downward adjustments to the conversion rates of Visa’s class B-1 and B-2 common stock into class A shares—stock largely held by U.S. financial institutions—which effectively dilutes those classes and has the same earnings-per-share impact as repurchasing class A common stock, signaling a capital allocation move that may modestly support EPS while shifting some economic impact to holders of the B shares.

The most recent analyst rating on (V) stock is a Buy with a $416.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Visa stock, see the V Stock Forecast page.
