Visa ( (V) ) just unveiled an announcement.

On February 13, 2026, Visa Inc. said its board has authorized the company to proceed with a successive exchange offer for its Class B common stock once specified litigation-related conditions are satisfied. The move follows the initial exchange offer for Class B-1 stock launched more than a year earlier and is tied to the level of estimated interchange reimbursement fees at issue in U.S. covered litigation.

Visa reported that those estimated fees declined from about $49.6 billion as of October 1, 2023 to about $39.4 billion as of October 1, 2025, and expects further dismissals in key cases, including the 7‑Eleven action, to reduce them below 50% of the 2023 level. Once the conditions are met and a registration statement is cleared by regulators, Visa plans to offer holders of Class B-1 and B-2 shares the option to exchange into a mix of restricted Class B-3 stock and freely transferable Class C stock, potentially simplifying its capital structure and affecting ownership dynamics among different shareholder classes.

The most recent analyst rating on (V) stock is a Buy with a $372.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Visa stock, see the V Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on V Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, V is a Outperform.

Strong financial performance and a constructive earnings outlook (maintained low-double-digit growth with improving tax guidance) support the score, but it is tempered by weak technical momentum (below key moving averages, negative MACD) and a relatively high P/E with a low dividend yield.
