Debt to equity
From the FY2026 filing
Price to earnings is 33.78x at the close of 2026-11-11 on FY2026 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits between 25.00x and 40.00x.
Today, against the Financial - Credit Services industry (43 companies), 33.78x sits at the 88th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 4.83x to 20.43x.
Return on invested capital was 51.0% in FY2026, in the band labelled "Exceptional" (20.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns on the capital in the business well above the usual cost of that capital.
Today, against the Financial Services sector (77 companies), 51.0% sits at the 94th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from -0.5% to 9.2%.
Interest coverage was 37.08x in FY2026, in the band labelled "Comfortable" (6.00x and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's interest-coverage table, suggesting an interest bill operating profit covers many times over.
These are V’s filed figures. The research desk says what they mean, against peers and its own years, with what to check next.

The figures are computed from the accounts for fiscal 2026, the newest full year on file. 12 filed fiscal years on record, FY2015 to FY2026, from SEC EDGAR. Prices as of Nov 11, 2026. Ratios recomputed Nov 11, 2026. Two facts, because a recompute is not a fresh quote.
The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry. A figure’s name opens its formula and the filings behind it; a statement that names no SEC filing has no filing date, and reads n/a.
10 filed fiscal years, FY2017 to FY2026, read from the annual reports Visa Inc filed with the SEC. Each year names its filing. Amounts in USD, as filed.

A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.
And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.
Then we check your line against newly filed data and write to you the night our data shows it broke. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published. It is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person.

ValueScreener · valuescreener.ai · Computed from accounts filed with the SEC by this company, read from EDGAR, and from dated closing prices. On this page a filed figure opens into its formula, its inputs and the statement, fiscal year and filing date it was read from, and a price into the day of its close.

A computation on accounts filed with the SEC, not a recommendation and not advice. Past filings do not indicate future results. Risk disclaimer.
