Revenue Growth
Examining a company’s long-term performance can provide clues about its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but many enduring ones grow for years. Luckily, Visa’s revenue grew at a solid 14.5% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth surpassed the average financials company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a great starting point for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Visa’s annualized revenue growth of 12.9% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand. 
This quarter, Visa reported year-on-year revenue growth of 14.4%, and its $11.63 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street’s estimates by 2.2%.
