DON'T BUY
A great company, but trading at a huge multiple because they don't have the credit card risk that an individual bank does. Growth stock. Can’t get comfortable with the valuation.
DON'T BUY
A top-shelf company. A financial stock that takes no credit risk and is benefiting from this shift of going from cash to plastic. The organic growth is very robust. Strong competitive position. Valuation is not quite as interesting as it is only slightly undervalued.
DON'T BUY
Concerned about credit card companies over the near-term until we get through this financial trauma. Credit card balances have been trending up. Be a little cautious.
COMMENT
Get paid based on volumes of transactions, so if you are worried about any kind of slowdown, they could have a slowdown in earnings. Reasonable but not compelling value at these levels.
DON'T BUY
Earnings numbers have done surprisingly well given the weakness in the US consumer. His concern is that the other shoe has yet to drop. Anywhere in the $50 level you're looking at some pretty decent value.
BUY
American Express (AXP-N) had a disappointing 2nd quarter, due to problems of people paying their bills and resulted in a higher loan-loss. Visa is a processor and not responsible for losses due to unpaid bills. However, slowing down of consumer purchases will affect the number of transactions. At this level, it is relatively attractive.
DON'T BUY
Trading at about 30X earnings, which is a little rich. He would prefer it at 20X earnings. Great business. No credit risks.
DON'T BUY
Up 75% since it went public in March however, this is not a MasterCard Mach II, which made you 3 or 4 times your money in the last couple of years. He has reduced his holdings. Pretty expensive even with good growth.
COMMENT
An IPO that hasn't been out too long so he can't chart it easily but it does have a symmetrical triangle. This one seems to be trying to come out the bottom. Look at MasterCard (MA-N) and see how it is doing. If it violates the trend line he would exit this one. They will both do the same thing.
BUY
Strong name in the financial services sector. Trying to mimic American Express by promoting a lot of new cards with prizes. This is cutting into margins. For a long-term play, it is a decent stock to own.
DON'T BUY
Not bullish on this company. His concern is the ability of the banks to take on more credit cards. Visa doesn’t have the credit risks, but as cards get maxed out and go into default there will be fewer transactions.
DON'T BUY
Seems to have gotten ahead of itself. Would like to have this one season at little bit longer after its IPO.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Can enter stock and add to it if weakness, preferred over Mastercard.
DON'T BUY
Little concerned because of consumers being overextended. Credit card debts are getting very high at the moment. If interest rates back up a little bit, this could be under threat.
DON'T BUY
The ability to grow its cardholder base and to grow the number of retail transactions in the current economic environment is restrained.
