On CAPS, 95% of the 5,126 members who have rated Visa believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Earlier today, one of those bulls, Montebleu, succinctly summed up the Visa bull case for our community:
Strong and consistent top line and bottom line. ROE is consistent and above average returns of S&P 500. Long term debt is nil. No doors to entry. The players in this industry are limited to just a few established ones. [Visa] and [MasterCard] and [American Express] will outlive most of us.
