Visa reported special items of $563 million for severance costs in fiscal full-year 2026, compared to $213 million in the prior year. This workforce reduction may indicate organizational realignment and creates potential openings for workforce transition, HR, or efficiency solutions.
Filing excerpt
Current year’s results included special items of $1.7 billion for a litigation provision associated with the MDL case and other legal matters, $563 million for severance costs, $314 million for a deferred tax benefit recognized due to a change in the U.S. taxation of certain foreign earnings, and $282 million related to the donation of investments to the Visa Foundation.
