Visa's shares continue to rise despite concerns that AI shopping agents could disrupt its transaction network. CEO Ryan McInerney views agentic commerce as an expansion opportunity, not a threat, comparing it to past commerce shifts like e-commerce and mobile payments that ultimately reinforced Visa's role.

The company is also addressing new challenges posed by AI agents with partnerships and technology upgrades, suggesting agentic commerce will integrate into Visa's existing payment ecosystem rather than replace it.
