Life (and Investors) Take Visa

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.
