Visa shares surged to a new 52-week high of $374.20 on August 24, helping lead the Dow Jones Industrial Average to a 137-point gain, as two high-profile buying disclosures drew investor attention. Bill Ackman's Pershing Square is reportedly taking a $1.12 billion stake in Visa, while a financial disclosure revealed that President Trump's investment accounts purchased millions of dollars of Visa stock during June 2026. Trump's accounts also bought Mastercard and Cintas while selling a large position in the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF.

Visa was among the top-performing consumer-related stocks on the day, joining Expedia, Target, Mastercard, and Airbnb in hitting 52-week highs. Adding to the day's Visa-related news, the company put Hims and Hers Health on notice over payment disputes, a move that sent Hims shares sharply lower, as the telehealth company's subscription-cancellation practices prompted elevated consumer chargebacks. On the product side, Scotiabank launched a no-fee Visa credit card for Canadian business owners offering 1% cash back on all purchases.

Visa also announced that CEO Ryan McInerney will present at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia and Technology Conference on September 8 at 1:05 p.m. Pacific Time.
