$Visa(V)$  – An Dominant Stock Not To Be Overlooked

The recent bear market has sparked off massive sell-off and as a result, created incredible bargains (or well, at least reset some of the overly high valuations) for the world’s best blue chip companies. This includes $Visa(V)$ , a global leader in digital payments playing an essential role for most consumers and businesses.

1. Dominant Player with Good Prospects

It is without doubt that Visa is not a fanciful option (unlike $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ 

Bearish, $AMD(AMD)$ ) that will come to most people’s mind. However, it is pertinent to note that Visa is an established leader that continues to enjoy strong growth prospects. Although there has been ongoing disruption to the payments industry, Visa continues to enjoy a strong economic moat given its indispensable role in the payment infrastructure. With the payments industry expected to double from $1.5 trillion in 2021 to $2.9 trillion in 2030 (based on studies by BCG), Visa is well-poised to capitalise on this growth and boost its revenue even further. Let’s also not forget that Visa is a fortress with strong balance, having over $15B in cash (with low debt ratio) and generating over at least $12B in operating cash flow annually. 

2. Continuous Innovation Strengthening Its Moat

Visa’s dominant position will be further cemented as it continues to expand its capabilities to deliver innovation in online and offline payment processes to keep up with the ongoing demands and evolving needs. This includes Visa Checkout, Visa Token Service, Visa Developer Platform and Visa Direct. Moreover, with the growing emphasis of data (touted as the new oil of digital economy), Visa also provides the analytical tools for better understanding of the customers’ interests and preferences.

3. Attractive But Not Without Any Risks

While Visa may appear to be an attractive company to be vested in, one must be cognisant of the underlying risks as well. It is imperative to note that Visa’s revenue is correlated to the amount and volume of consumer spending, which means that it is subjected to the impact of the current macroeconomic situation where rising interest rates are dampening the disposable income of consumers. Visa is a modest cyclical industry which we may see some volatility in its revenue. However, looking beyond the short-term bear market, Visa may be an attractive investment option.

Happy to hear your thoughts on Visa! May the markets be in your favour! [Grin]
