Has owned this a long time, wished he owned both. A great compounder. They reinvest their huge cash flows to buy companies and grow dividends. It benefits from inflation as people spend more. The valuations of both have never been cheap, but you get what you pay for. The remain remains large.
He has owned it and done well. It is part of a duopoly with Visa. Mastercard is growing at 12% and Visa at10%. Buy and hold for the long term.
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.
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.
It reports Wednesday. More like Visa than AmEx and could report better results than Visa, because MA puts up consistently strong reports. Likes it.
Grown revenue by 10% annualized last 5 years. Second-largest digital payments company after Visa. Over 210 countries, 150 currencies. Solid consumer spending that's growing. Travel demand, higher cross-border volumes.
Extensive global network. Very strong brand recognition, great technology gives it strong competitive advantages to protect market share. Industry has plenty of runway for growth. Tollbooth. Share buybacks, raised dividend 16%. Earnings growth looks to be 17% or more for several years. Reasonable price. Great core name. Yield is 0.6%.
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.
It traditionally trades at high value but grows in the double digit range on both top and bottom lines. It is a basically a duopoly with Visa.
Visa has wonderful business economics, largest payment network, quite embedded. Both Visa and MA have less operating risk than, for example, PYPL.
It has $256 billion in revenue. It has an extensive global network in 210 countries. It started a $9 billion share buyback last year. Also it expects 18% EPS growth per year over the next few years. This is due to high post pandemic travel, revenge spending, and growing global and emerging market spending. Buy 41, Hold 6, Sell 0
(Analysts’ price target is $457.51)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.
Owns shares for past 5 years.
Move to cashless society good for business.
Recovery in global travel helping with revenue.
Good business for long term shareholders.
Expecting double digit earnings growth.
Current share price not cheap.
Excellent management team.
