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.

Should I Buy Visa Stock? V Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Sunday, October 6, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these Visa pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

Visa
Bull Case

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

Visa's strong institutional ownership percentage of 98.47% indicates high confidence from large financial institutions, which can be a positive signal for individual investors.
Visa's innovative payment technology solutions, such as tap to pay, tokenization, and click to pay services, keep the company at the forefront of the rapidly evolving digital payment landscape, potentially driving future growth.
Visa's consistent growth in average daily volume and outstanding shares, coupled with a solid fifty-two week performance of 16.99%, demonstrates the company's resilience and attractiveness to investors.
Visa's recent stock price of $287.35 on the record date of 09/15/2024, showcases stability and potential for capital appreciation, making it an appealing investment option.
Visa's diversified range of services, including Visa Direct for fund delivery and Visa B2B Connect for cross-border payments, offer multiple revenue streams and reduce dependency on any single product or market segment.

Visa
Bear Case

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

Visa's short percentage of float at 1.28% and shares shorted in the previous month indicate some level of market skepticism or potential short-term volatility that investors need to consider.
Visa's month-to-month change percentage of -3.47% in shares shorted suggests a recent increase in bearish sentiment among investors, which could impact the stock price in the short term.
Visa's days to cover ratio of 2.5 may indicate a higher level of short interest relative to the average daily trading volume, potentially leading to increased price volatility or pressure on the stock.
Visa's float size of 1,670,000,000 shares and outstanding shares of 1,690,000,000 highlight a large supply of shares in the market, which could limit significant price appreciation in the near term.
Visa's business services industry classification, particularly in data processing and outsourced services, may expose the company to risks associated with technological disruptions, regulatory changes, and competition, impacting its financial performance.
