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. Concerns around competition from digital currencies and the impact of AI on the payment industry have surfaced, but many argue that Visa's entrenched position in the market diminishes these risks.

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.
DON'T BUY
They don’t have the kind of credit exposure that other financials have. Would not own it. Multiple is very high. But not the same downside as other financials.
DON'T BUY
There will be fewer cards and with lower credit limits because of the recession. Transaction volumes will decline.
WAIT
They don’t take on any of the credit related issues. If people are maxed out on credit cards, they don’t use Visa as much. They are international and the global economy is slowing down. Visa has the better brand name. He prefers Visa. There are areas where they can expand. He thinks you will be able to buy it lower
HOLD
(Market Call Minute.) Would buy if it fell another 15%.
DON'T BUY
MasterCard (MA-N) and Visa (V-N) are phenomenal franchises and basically a global duopoly. Not tied to spending but transaction growth. PE multiple for both companies is somewhere in the mid-20s, which is very rich. On a 5-year time horizon, they will grow into that multiple. Would consider buying at a sub-20 PE.
DON'T BUY
Expensive at about 30X earnings. For a processing company, it is really priced for perfection.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute.) US credit formation is very slow right now. Opportunity to sell new cards is low.
