STRONG BUY
Visa reported yesterday numbers that were way better than expected with tremendous credit card growth in the U.S. and the rest of the world, except Russia which amounted to 4% of their business in 2021. Despite Russia, numbers were so good that shares today surged 6%. Saw 30% earnings growth fuelled by cross-border transactions, and reported top and bottom line beats. He sees great performance ahead.

BUY
Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Visa trades at a 41.7x PE, slightly above Mastercard’s 40.4x, and pays a 1.5% dividend, which is safe at a 22.62% payout ratio. It beat its last four quarters. Its EPS is $5.03, rising 24.65% over the previous year. True, Visa shares struggled over the winter, barely hovering above $200 and are currently far from their $252.67 highs, but the streets see shares breaking new highs to $275.88 based on 18 buys and two holds.

Unspecified
Interchangeable networks with Visa, MasterCard and American Express which will all continue to do well. PayPal is not a competitive threat. Visa has struggled a bit because of tourism business decline but this should improve slowly.

BUY
Gaining market share around the globe, with most of the alternative payment systems. Massive free cashflow. In terms of security, they're the most important player in the world and he sees them remaining so for many years.

BUY
V vs. MA In the short term, both will benefit from world travelling. A big portion of their money comes from foreign exchange. Post-Covid stocks. Long term, there's room for both plus newer technologies like PYPL. Newer tech has a tendency to replace the old. A generation from now, there may be secular change from blockchain, but that's not for a while.

BUY
Effect of buy-now, pay-later stocks? Visa is a vital intermediary in almost all transactions, and it has a tremendous grip (with Mastercard) on world payments, and this won't change even with these stocks. Covid's slowdown of travel is ending and this will list Visa, a great stock to hold for the future.

BUY
Still growth in the payments space. Yes, these trade at higher multiples, which is unfriendly in this market. Payments also were impacted by Covid, because there was less travel. However, once borders open internationally, there should be a rebound in spending. Especially so with business travel. A weaker economic outlook could dampen this space. She keeps buying shares. E-payments will has a long way to expand into countries that use paper money.
