Visa Inc. continues to be regarded as a top choice among financial experts, noted for its dominant position in the global payments landscape. Despite some fluctuations in its share price and concerns over emerging digital payment solutions like stablecoins, the company's fundamentals remain strong with double-digit revenue growth and significant profitability. Analysts emphasize its solid return on equity and increasing cash reserves, along with ongoing share buybacks. Many see Visa as a long-term hold due to its robust business model and essential role in the transition from cash to digital payments. The general outlook remains optimistic, although there are cautions regarding the impact of external economic factors and evolving competition in fintech.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 31/18, Down 2%) Second largest holding, and largest in the fintech space. You have to own it.
BUY
Great long term name to own. Global spending continues to grow because global growth continues. It is on sale.
HOLD
Valuation was excessive, but has come back. A great global platform and has taken market share from American Express. Visa has positioned them well to compete with the PayPals of the world. We're moving towards e-payments as a general trend.
BUY
We're now beyond seasonality (Aug.2-Nov.11), but Visa has done really well. Payment companies won't go out of style. It's enjoyed higher-highs and -lows. Visa will benefit from holiday shopping. A good time now.
TOP PICK
A lot of growth here. They've adapted very well to technology payments, like tapping credits cards. It's safe hiding here during the current correction. They're also involved in B2B connect (blockchain). A trusted, go-to name in the payments space. (Analysts’ price target is $163.28)
BUY
Visa vs. Shopify as a growth stock in a TFSA? Definitely Visa--a global franchise with great recurring revenue. Nothing against Shopify, but it's a very expensive stock. Visa is the safer, long-term bet. Everyday, we use less cash.
COMMENT
Visa vs. Mastercard He owns Mastercard which has done better than Visa. But both companies are great. Pick one. But you're paying for the growth rate (they are expensive). Trading at 31x earnings. Be careful of sudden drops in stock price.
BUY
Visa vs. Mastercard He's owned both. Look at how much each card is international and domestic? Visa is a little more international, a market that's a bigger piece of the pie. The average European uses cash much more often than plastic, so this is a big opportunity for Visa. Also, Visa is 60% debit, which he thinks will become more normal than credit cards, so this is another growth area. This sector is doing well. Visa is bigger than all its peers combined. Did 1.9 trillion transactions last year--huge. So, he prefers Visa, but the overall sentiment is positive for Mastercard too.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

The payments space is huge, because nobody's writing cheques and people are using smartphones. Has 12% revenue growth. Number of cards increase 80 million to 3.3 billion. Total Visa volume surpassed a record $11 trillion. Likes the company, but hates the price. Multiple is too high. A free cash-flow company that continues to grow. He'd buy this at a lower price. 31.25 P/E is unjustifiable.

WAIT
We had consolidation in 2015/16 time-frame and then the up leg. Now we are seeing a cycle reset again. He would like to see a covered call strategy used. There will be further choppiness ahead.
BUY
It is doing a healthy pullback. Good looking chart. Good story.
TOP PICK
He has a 12 month price target of $164. It is not a value orientated company, but has high profit margins and plenty of free cash flow. It has delivered capital appreciation and dividend growth. In this pull back it is a good buy. Yield 0.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $163.06)
TOP PICK
Everybody uses credit cards or phones and nobody pays cash. This is an incredible business. Terrific earnings, raising their dividend 17%. He believes more people will use Visa and that global growth will continue. (Analysts’ price target is $163.06)
COMMENT

How to play Mastercard and Visa in ETFs? They're heavyweights in the tech ETFs; XLK-Q (Visa is large in this) if you want liquidity. Also look at IGM-N.

BUY

It is up today on their earnings. We are actually at support. If it corrects more it will go to $125. This is a good time for this stock.
