Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) is a global leader in digital payments, facilitating transactions between consumers, merchants, financial institutions, and government entities. The company operates in over 200 countries, providing a wide range of payment solutions. Visa's main competitor is Mastercard, but Visa's strong presence in the U.S. market gives it a competitive edge.
On January 14, 2025, Ramsey El-Assal from Barclays set a new price target for Visa at $361, suggesting a potential price increase of 15.83% from its current price of $311.67. This optimistic outlook aligns with Seaport analyst Jeff Cantwell's recent upgrade of Visa to a Buy rating, with a price target of $359. Cantwell's analysis highlights Visa's strong U.S. market exposure as a key advantage over Mastercard.
Cantwell anticipates Visa's service and data processing revenue to grow in 2025 and 2026, driven by a strengthening U.S. economy. He also expects an increase in demand for Visa's value-added services, contributing to double-digit revenue growth and a 13% rise in earnings per share (EPS) for both years. This positive forecast supports the potential price increase suggested by Barclays.
Despite these positive projections, Visa shareholders facing financial losses are being encouraged to join a class action lawsuit under federal securities laws. This legal action aims to help affected investors seek potential recovery. Interested parties can contact Joseph E. Levi, Esq., for more information.
Visa's stock is currently trading at $309.09, with a market capitalization of approximately $606.1 billion. The stock has experienced a 0.707% increase, with a trading volume of 5,079,886 shares. As highlighted by Seaport Research, Visa's strategic focus on the U.S. market may present a more attractive investment opportunity compared to Mastercard in 2025.
