Visa's fiscal fourth-quarter results showed strong performance, with net revenue up 13% year-over-year on a constant-currency basis and payments volume growing 9%. Cross-border volume growth modestly picked up to 14%, and value-added services saw 30% growth for the fiscal year. Despite this, Morningstar maintains its $330 fair value estimate, viewing shares as modestly overvalued, and suggests the market is too optimistic about Visa's long-term prospects given expected moderation in growth for fiscal 2027.

International Paper reported a $1.10 billion Q3 loss from continuing operations, primarily due to a $1.38 billion non-cash goodwill impairment charge for its EMEA packaging business. Despite the loss, the company aims for $460 million to $500 million in North American operating profit for Q4 and $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion for full-year 2026, while also advancing the separation of its EMEA packaging business. Softer demand and rising costs for paper, fiber, energy, and fuel contributed to reduced sales volumes, although North American packaging saw improved operating profit compared to the previous year.
