Visa - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Visa:

  • Visa has a strong market capitalization of $565.26 billion, indicating its significant presence and stability in the payment technology sector.
  • The company recently traded at $310.19, reflecting a robust stock performance and investor confidence.

Visa
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Visa for these reasons:

  • The company's high P/E ratio of 31.79 suggests that the stock may be overvalued compared to its earnings, which could deter value-focused investors.
  • Visa's beta of 0.95 indicates that its stock price is less volatile than the market, which may not appeal to investors seeking high-risk, high-reward opportunities.
  • Recent fluctuations in stock price, with a 52-week low of $251.61 and a high of $312.44, may indicate potential instability in the short term.
  • Insider ownership is relatively low at 0.19%, which may raise concerns about alignment between management and shareholder interests.
  • The competitive landscape in the payment processing industry is intensifying, with new entrants and technologies that could impact Visa's market share and profitability.
