After the bell and the next session
In after-hours trading, Visa last changed hands at about USD 370.02 on NYSE Arca at 8:49 p.m. ET, roughly 0.47 percent above the regular-session close, according to quote data reported by CNBC. After the close today, investor focus also turns to ongoing legal and regulatory developments, including a settlement of an ATM surcharge class action in which Visa and Mastercard agreed to pay USD 167.5 million, as noted by Adalytica, a case that could influence perceptions of future fee structures. Looking ahead to the next U.S. trading day on September 22, 2026, investors will be watching for further commentary on Visa’s partnerships and regulatory environment, including the recently highlighted expansion of stablecoin settlement volumes discussed by Forkast News, which frames how emerging payment rails might affect the company’s longer-term positioning.
