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.
BUY
Likes it. There are a lot of transaction fees. Buy at the $40 to $45 level.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) He would Sell in the short-term and Buy in the long-term.
DON'T BUY
Still an expensive stock. Great company. Less expensive than it was 4 or 5 months ago when it was trading at 40 X earnings. Still trading at 20 X earnings.
COMMENT
Solid company. Doesn't have the credit risks of a lot of companies have. Not a lot of downside risk but it is going to have pressure as credit card use goes down.
DON'T BUY
Biggest concern in the US right now is that consumers may end up having to pay debt and won't be using credit cards.
DON'T BUY
Expects that long-term it is going to grow very well, 15% plus. Expanding. Trades at around 20 times. There are other opportunities that represent better risk/reward.
SELL
(Market Call Minute.) Gets its earnings totally from credit card volumes and they are not growing anymore.
SELL ON STRENGTH
Americans are going to start to become savers and this is not good for Visa. It fell below its April low. There may be a bounce up to that low. The banks get stuck with the debt so they are insulated from that.
