Visa Inc. V is set to report fiscal second-quarter 2016 results on Apr 21, 2016 after the market closes. Last quarter, the company had posted a positive earnings surprise of 1.47%. Let’s see how things are shaping up for this announcement.Factors to be Considered this QuarterVisa’s international business and cross-border volumes are likely to have suffered from the impact of the strong U.S. dollar. Also, the weak and uncertain global economic environment added to the company’s woes.Outbound commerce from China and the Middle East is likely to have weakened further. Moreover, low oil price and weak commodity market are expected to have adversely affected revenue growth rate in Brazil, Russia and the Middle East.Visa estimated to incur $125 million in interest expenses in the fiscal second quarter. Expenses are expected to increase in mid-single-digit range attributable to higher personnel cost and increase in network and processing expenses due to Russia.Nevertheless, new initiatives undertaken by the company to increase demand for electronic and mobile payment facilities are likely to have favorably impacted growth in the to-be-reported quarter. Service and transaction processing revenues are likely have remained strong.In addition, Visa’s earnings are likely to have boosted by increased card usage owing to the expanding customer base and continued growth in electronic payments.With respect to the surprise trend, Visa delivered positive surprises in three of the last four quarters with an average beat of 7.13%.Earnings WhispersOur proven model does not conclusively show that Visa is likely to beat on earnings this quarter.
