Visa stock holds steady after hours as fee-curb talk builds — what investors watch next
New York, January 21, 2026, 19:10 EST — After-hours Visa Inc (NYSE: V) shares slipped 0.2% to $325.28 in after-hours trading Wednesday, as investors digested fresh political pressure on credit-card fees ahead of next week’s earnings report. Washington’s fresh push to overhaul card payment pricing and routing has set off alarms—networks could take a hit, even if the focus is largely on banks and merchants. Goldman Sachs analysts told Finviz this week that a modest shift diverting payments from Visa’s network might slash earnings by around 3%. The policy chatter comes just as Visa enters a quiet stretch before earnings.
