Still likes the space. Post pandemic, seeing more travel and spending around the world. Visa is the only other major player. Price above 200-day MA, which continues to move higher, higher highs and higher lows. Breakout on stock. Good name to hold, you can add on weakness.

WEAK BUY
Mastercard Inc.

This and Mastercard have been consistent double-digit growers for many years. Growth rates are starting to slow. The law of large numbers is kicking in. But he's holding onto this for its growth in a market when few companies are really growing.

Mastercard Inc.

Governments could take action on being a duopoly along with Visa but this would have to be a unified effort all over the world. It just got permission to operate in China which has 800 million credit cards. American Express was the first to do this and Visa is not there yet.

COMMENT
Mastercard Inc.
MA vs. Visa

Prefers Visa, because it trades at a slightly lower PE, growth rates are as good as MA's and it's the biggest credit card company by far. Also, Visa is concentrated in the debit market, which is where fintech is transitioning to.

Markets like China are almost cashless. Visa or MA are the two places to be. Growth of digital payments has slowed, so you might get a better entry point.
