This summary was created by AI, based on 68 opinions in the last 12 months.

Visa Inc. continues to be considered a top pick among analysts, receiving high praise for its dominant position in the digital payment space. With a remarkable return on equity (ROE) of 65% and consistent revenue growth of about 12-15%, the company is viewed as a strong player amidst market volatility and competition from fintech alternatives. While some analysts express concerns about inflation impacts and potential disruptions from emerging digital currencies, a majority find Visa’s expansive network and innovative growth strategies reassuring. Experts also note the company's commitment to returning capital through buybacks and dividends, demonstrating financial stability and promising growth potential in the evolving payment landscape.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 04/21, Up 10.1%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with V has triggered its stop at $230. We recommend covering the position at this time. We will continue to monitor for another potential entry.
DON'T BUY
Admires MA and Visa very much, as they've executed extremely well. And that's the problem, as the multiples are now priced for perfection. Trading at almost 2x the market multiple. Will benefit from the reopening, but still too pricey for him. Better opportunities elsewhere. Loves the companies, but not the stocks.
TOP PICK
Still lots of growth in digital payments. Health crisis has encouraged more people to use debit. Strong rebound to above pre-pandemic levels in domestic payment volumes. International volumes will eventually pick up. Yield is 0.55%. (Analysts’ price target is $280.49)
BUY

What does he think over the next 5 to 10 years. It is a great company and you could comfortably hold it for probably a decade. We are not in the early innings in the transition away from cash. As the global economy grows, Visa and MasterCard are too big to fail. As a merchant you have to have a value if you don't want to lose out. A lot of the smaller competitors are using the network of these two guys.

BUY

Most payment companies are going to compress over time due to their growth rates. Digital wallets are going to be more popular going forward. He prefers V-N to get exposure. He would prefer Paypal over Square.

DON'T BUY
Re-rated to too high a multiple. Both it and Visa are currently at north of 40x current earnings, too high for potential growth even if that growth is exciting.
BUY

Amex vs. Visa Visa. Once international travel picks up, transaction activity will rise. Same with business travel. Visa will benefit from both. Amex also, to a certain extent. The different is that Amex offers credit, while Visa is purely transactional. So, Visa doesn't carry credit risk on those balances while Amex does. This is why Amex trades at a lower multiple. She likes the digital commerce space because it will continue to grow and replace cash, which we saw during the pandemic.

BUY
It's at the top of a multi-year bull cycle. Despite that, she'd buy it. Great growth ahead, including the crypto payments segment.
STRONG BUY
Hitting new highs today Payments are going digital. Today they reported $1 billion in crypto transactions, which is the top of the iceberg in this growth area. Visa looks like it will break out.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Feb 04/21, Up 14.9%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with V, has achieved its $240 objective. We are recommending trailing up the stop (from $170) to $230. If triggered, this would all but guarantee an investment return exceeding 10%.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 02/20, Up 21%) It is a technology business. They have fantastic growth, never-ending. It is not cheap but is worth the multiple.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 26/20, Up 21%) It's struggled, as travel related and entertainment spending are down. These are recovering. Long-term secular growth story of increasing digitization. He continues to buy.
BUY
A great company with irreplaceable assets. Has been successful in transitioning of the global payment system. It has fingers on a huge stream of daily payments. When the economy will reopen, the stock should benefit from earnings and revenues. Not a cheap stock at about 50x earnings and is not growing at a pace that fully justifies it. Dividend is small. The asset is irreplaceable and cannot be duplicated. A big moat.
BUY
A toll booth. Takes no credit risk, just a transaction fee. Continues to grow. As the economy comes back, travel will become a larger part of their revenue base. Enhanced its fintech. Move to cashless society will accelerate. Look for acquisitions. Hard to replicate their channels.
BUY
Analyst Larry Williams's strategy for the Memorial Day trade: buy the day before Memorial Day and sell shares 10-15 days later. In fact, this should keep climbing into mid-June. This made money every year under this strategy. Visa also works as a long-term investment.
