Shares of major credit card companies were mixed Thursday, as several analysts warned that ongoing credit deterioration and a decline in consumer spending will likely pressure earnings for some time.

Investors got some mixed data about credit card losses Wednesday: Capital One Financial Corp. said its U.S. and international credit card defaults jumped in March, but American Express Co. said defaults in its U.S. card unit rose only slightly.

Visa shares fell 99 cents to $58.12, while MasterCard dropped $3.99, or 2.4 percent, to $161.47.
