New York, June 13, 2025 — Visa Inc. (NYSE: V) stock saw a sharp sell-off during early trading hours Friday, plunging more than 6% and wiping out recent short-term gains. The stock dropped to $348.45 by 10:23 a.m. ET, marking a steep decline of $22.95 or 6.18% from the previous close of $371.40.
This dramatic pullback follows a period of consistent growth for the payments giant. Over the last five trading sessions, Visa stock is down 5.05%, and the month-to-date performance now shows a decline of 1.55%. Today’s fall also marks one of the most significant daily drops for Visa in 2025.
Despite the sudden downturn, Visa’s long-term performance remains strong. The stock is still up 10.49% year-to-date, 11.18% over the past six months, and has gained nearly 30% over the past year. Over the last five years, Visa has returned more than 80% to investors, and its all-time gain stands at a staggering 2,260%, reflecting its reputation as a cornerstone of the global financial system.
Analysts suggest that today’s drop may be a reaction to short-term market sentiment rather than company fundamentals. Visa’s business remains robust, supported by continued global digital payments expansion and strong quarterly earnings in recent months.
As the stock now trades well below its recent 52-week high of $375.51, market watchers will be closely observing whether this pullback presents a new buying opportunity—or signals broader volatility ahead.
