Headquartered in foster City, California,
Visa Inc. is a multinational financial services corporation that facilitates
electronic funds transfers all over the world. Operating in over 230 countries,
visa Inc. does not set fees or rates nor does it issue cards and credit.
Instead it offers financial institutions with visa branded payment solutions
that serve as the carrier for nearly all of the financial institutions’ credit,
debit and cash access programs offered to its clients. In comparison to its
main competitors visa has a wider product portfolio and better stock market
performance. Granted the share prices and stock graphs of all financial service
providers are subject to changing market scenarios and global currency ratios,
however the Visa Inc. stock
graph is still showing an upward trend in its post 2013 fiscal year
performance, save the sharp decline seen in the month of march which could be
attributed to the fact that many of the countries in which visa operates
conduct tax returns in early-mid march. Other than that hiccup, Visa Inc.’s
stock share price and general trend on the stock market remained in a
stable and favorable position.
Visa Inc. stock is generally regarded as a “buy” by many
financial analysts owing to its regular and positive returns on investments and
wide product portfolio which ensures its long term investment viability.
Another fact could be that of all the major financial service providers, Visa
Inc. is generating the highest revenues and profits. Despite being one of the
leading blue chip stocks this season, the Visa Inc. stock market performance
may experience slightly dwindling investor confidence as the company may become
subject to trials regarding card fees, this quarter.
Judging by the Visa Inc. stock graph
this year, share price and stock performance were generally favorable. Maximum
fluctuation in share price seen this month was only of about 10%, which
when considering Visa’s market cap (upwards of $154 Billion) and annual
revenues is a value that can be foregone if one is looking at the investment of
potential of visa as a viable option for earning return on capital investment. Visa
Inc. stock price today opened at 196.63 per share and is performing well on
the open market thus far. Analytical researchers term Visa Inc. stocks
to be a buy, and a highly bullish one at that. This could also be attributed to
American express and master Card’s recent decline in dividends to investors and
mostly dismal stock market performance. This, when considered alongside the
solid short term stock market performance as well as rumors of Visa
revamping and reinvigorating its corporate structure serve to successfully
cultivate substantial investor confidence in this leading blue chip stock.
