Despite a flat stock performance in the past year, analysts maintain a bullish outlook, citing increased consumer spending, particularly in travel, and Visa's ability to leverage its robust network for future growth.

TOP PICK
Bigger domestic business than MasterCard. Thinks they can grow at 20% year over year. Thinks there is room to run.
HOLD
Has done very, very well so he would consider it a weaker Hold. Multiple has crept up to 16X earnings, not tremendously high but starting to get a little on the expensive side. Still growing at 20% year. You might want to switch to MasterCard (MA-N) at a little lower multiple.
HOLD
Also should be close out positions at expiry? Stock is moving significantly higher in an upward trend. Strength relative to the S&P is positive. This will go higher. Watch the short term momentum indicators.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Unbelievable company but evaluation is too high.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 2/11, Up 61.83%) He switched to Visa from MasterCard. IT is growing domestically and internationally.
BUY
Owned Mastercard and then sold a year and a half ago to buy Visa but would buy both that these levels. Still looking at 20%+ growth.
COMMENT
(Market Call Minute.) Consumer spending in the US was flat in December, which was bad for the credit card companies. People are still reducing their debt and you are not going to see rate increases in consumer spending. Not a lot of growth in the card companies.
HOLD
Likes the payment processing area. Tons of recurring revenue, 60% operating margin, dividend increases, buybacks. Stock has run up 40% over the last 12 months. Will be a good, long-term hold. All they really good value has been taken last year.
TOP PICK
Fantastic chart that goes from lower left to upper right with relatively good growth and return on assets, return on equity. Low payout ratio for dividend. Dividend has a decent opportunity to grow.
WEAK BUY
As long as they execute on a fundamental basis you hold on to it. If the price runs away on it, you sell, but this has not happened. There are issues about Europe.
BUY
The only theme that he likes in the financials is the card issuers. The whole group looks pretty good. Their 2 incomes are from the fees they get from banks and the spread you pay on the interest on your balance. This is a global growth story.
TOP PICK
Switched into this from MasterCard because of better growth profile and because amendment was introduced to limit fee on debit cards.
HOLD
It is so expensive from a valuation perspective, but you can’t deny the consistency of the model. He is a value player and it is hard to engage in this because of the price. It’s still a great company. Don’t add to it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 3/11. Up 14.47%.)
TOP PICK
Historically traded at a premium multiple to MasterCard (MA-N) but now trades at a discount. Both are looking at 18%-19% growth in earnings. Trading at around 16X next year's earnings. Lots of growth potential.
