Andrew Jeffrey has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Visa’s strong position in the fintech industry. Despite a slight dip in stock price, attributed to conservative fourth-quarter EPS guidance and cross-border volume concerns, Visa’s third-quarter performance exceeded expectations, indicating robust growth potential. The company maintains its global leadership through its extensive ecosystem, resilience against emerging competition, and consistent pricing power, which are expected to drive high-single-digit organic revenue growth and low-double-digit EPS growth over the long term.
Visa’s strategic initiatives, such as the Visa Flexible Credential and emerging stablecoin solutions, position it to benefit from the ongoing shift towards electronic payments. These innovations, along with its leading money movement network and impressive value-added services, underscore Visa’s ability to capitalize on secular trends like open banking and cybersecurity. Despite concerns about stablecoins potentially disrupting the ecosystem, Jeffrey believes Visa’s established infrastructure and consumer trust in cards will sustain its dominance, supporting a premium valuation.
Jeffrey covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Fiserv, WEX, and Block. According to TipRanks, Jeffrey has an average return of 14.7% and a 65.11% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released today, TD Cowen also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $406.00 price target.
