COMMENT
Between Visa (V-N) and MasterCard (MA-N), MasterCard is the cheaper of the stocks from a valuation standpoint. Both of these companies are in the right spot. There will be a huge increase in the use of debit cards and both companies have a huge position in this area.
BUY
There is global upside in transaction values. If someone does not make good on their credit card, it is not this company that gets hit, but the bank.
COMMENT
Doesn't have a firm opinion on this one but companies exposed to small and mid-ticket items will fare better than large ticket items.
BUY
Is a credit card company but don’t make loans – they are a network system. Visa and MC are great companies. Visa is more attractive.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute) Shares are priced about right.
COMMENT
Prefers MasterCard (MC-N), which is less expensive valuation wise. If it where 10%-15% cheaper he would be more interested. The entire space has great opportunity.
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Wouldn't be looking at this one right now. Don't think you'll be seeing $80-$90 any time soon.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Solid name. There is definitely a driver that more and more people are using. Has been held back because of lower retail sales. Long-term steady story and a way to play the transactional volume without worrying about any particular retailer or taking credit risks.
BUY
Volatile stock because the credit card companies are volatile. Doesn't take credit risks. The infrastructure play of the financials. You will need a recovery in the economy to get it back to its highs. Good dividend.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
The unique concept of this company is that it is not actually exposed to the credit card debt but only on the payment transaction. Has had a significant run year-to-date but would recommend buying closer to $50.
COMMENT
A growth stock and he doesn't own it because he is a value investor. They don't have credit risks. Get fees from transactions. He is bullish on the use of credit cards long-term. Could be a bit of slowing with the recession. Stock price reflects all the good things. High PE at 20. OK if you are a growth investor.
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Expecting a recovery in the US economy in the second half of the year.
TOP PICK
This is the infrastructure toll road of commerce. One of the most widely accepted cards in the world. First-quarter profit was 35%.
HOLD
A strong brand name. Think they will increase both credit and debit transactions over time. Long-term it's a pretty good play. Will be subject to retail sales, which will be weak for a little while.
COMMENT
No credit risks. Basically a transaction company and the more transactions the more they get paid. A growing business but has always been a little expensive for him at around 20X earnings. Prefers MasterCard (MA-N), which is cheaper at around 14X earnings.
