Maestro, MA
BUY
We are moving more and more towards a cashless society. They have done more value in transactions than the others. They are well managed. They are not cheap but have demonstrated they can grow fundamentally to support their growing stock price.
BUY
Dominant in payments. Produces a lot of cash. He thought that tt some point there might be some risk on what they charge to retailers in light of blockchain technology. It hasn't pan out that way. That doesn't seem to be in the investable horizon. A safe place to put your capital.
BUY
Visa vs. Mastercard He's owned both for 10 years. Now, Visa is slightly cheaper, but neither are cheap. 24x earnings for both. But growth is also high in the high-teens. PEG ratio is 1.3 for both. You can't go wrong with either.
BUY
Visa vs. Mastercard She likes this space. They're both into e-commerce where there is a lot of growth to come. Visa bought Visa Europe a year ago and are Integrating it which will make Visa more international than Mastercard. These companies aren't trying to gain market share from each other; they're both growing from cash/cheque to online payments.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A great long-term hold and story, though it's overvalued now. It's far more global than MasterCard. Visa takes no risk. A great business that generates a lot of free cash. Blockchain can actually help Visa cut down their cost structure. Definitely buy on a pullback.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He thinks the stock will retrace to about $126, where he would be a buyer again. He would be "willing to go into war" with this stock. Although it is trading sideways, he would buy more on a pullback.
BUY
Visa vs. Mastercard He loves this sector. Both are fine companies. They don't take credit risk (the associated banks do). Instead, they do payment transactions, and here Visa (1.9 trillion) dwarfs its competitors combined. Visa also has a bigger debit card business and are more international oriented than Mastercard; Visa has now absorbed Visa Europe, which used to be a different company. Europeans use cash more than credit, so there's great opportunity here.
COMMENT
Reports tomorrow, but it doesn't make huge moves either way after earnings. A huge stock. He'd hold it and is good diversification for a portfolio. Difficult to call what tomorrow's earnings will be.
SELL ON STRENGTH
He owns Mastercard Inc. (MA-N). Looks pretty much the same. They are forgiving the short term down movement. Look for a selling point.
BUY
Visa and Mastercard dominate payment systems worldwide. Visa is stronger and has a slightly better growth profile. Both companies are wonderful and well-entranched. They both have a wide, deep moat. Also, Asia will increase credit card use.
BUY
He owns Mastercard. The credit card industry is fabulous. 85% of the world's credit card market is dominated by Visa and Mastercard. They have a strong moat. They make money when people have money or not.
PARTIAL BUY
Companies with high valuations will compress if the market goes down. Revenue growth is 12%, so hitting on all cylinders. Payments, volume growth are at 11% last quarter. Growing at a fast pace. That's wonderful, but you get so big it's harder to grow at such a fast pace. Has no problem with the stock, you can buy a half position.
STRONG BUY
A winner. A safe investment. Card companies do well when consumers are and now in the U.S. consumers are really using their cards now. It has sold off, but Visa will come back. It's a good business to be in.
TOP PICK
Leading global payment platform. As more and more people buy online they benefit. Under penetrated in Europe. They bought Visa Europe a couple of years ago that was run before as a not for profit. Good secular growth in the space. She thinks that they can grow their earnings at a 15% - 20% rate. Valuation very attractive. (Analysts’ price target is $161.35)
BUY
One of the best companies in the world. Great earnings growth, terrific balance sheet. Not cheap, but right now it's on sale. Rare to get a great company on sale.
