Visa reports Q1 EPS $2.18, consensus $2.01

Reports Q1 revenue $7.9B, consensus $7.7B. Reports Q1 Payments Volume up 7% and Processed Transactions up 10%. CEO Alfred Kelly states: "In our fiscal first quarter of 2023, Visa grew net revenues 12% year over year as we saw stable payments volume and processed transaction growth and a continued cross-border travel recovery. We had 8% growth in GAAP EPS, 21% growth in non-GAAP EPS and returned $4 billion to shareholders. I continue to see a bright future for Visa and believe that we have the right strategy to invest in and capitalize on the opportunities ahead across consumer payments, new flows and value added services. On February 1, Ryan McInerney will become CEO of Visa and I will assume the role of Executive Chairman. I am confident Ryan will lead Visa to new heights and I am grateful to all of our 26,500 employees who continue to position Visa at the center of money movement in increasingly innovative ways."
