Visa is a relatively unique company in that it is a longtime, established market leader that still enjoys strong growth prospects. Despite the ongoing evolution of the payments industry, we think a wide moat surrounds the business and that Visa’s position in the global electronic payment infrastructure is essentially unassailable.
Visa is the largest payment processor in the world. In fiscal 2022, it processed over $14 trillion in total volume. Visa operates in over 200 countries and processes transactions in over 160 currencies. Its systems are capable of processing over 65,000 transactions per second.
Morningstar analysts hand-select direct competitors or comparable companies to provide context on the strength and durability of V’s competitive advantage.

Market capitalization is calculated by taking a company’s share price and multiplying it by the total number of shares.
It’s often used to measure a company’s size. In the Morningstar Style Box, large-cap names account for the
largest 70% of U.S. stocks, mid-cap names account for the largest 70–90%, and small-cap names are the remaining 10% of companies.

V’s stock style is Large Growth.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns.
Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.
High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.

V’s price/sales is 15.22.
Price/sales represents the amount an investor is willing to pay for a dollar generated from
a particular company’s sales or revenues.
V’s price/forward earnings is 29.89.
Forward P/E gives some indication of how cheap or expensive a stock is compared with consensus earnings estimates.

V’s price/book is 12.15.

based on historical, rather than current, valuations. Historical valuations generally do not reflect
a company’s current market value. Value investors frequently look for companies that have low price/book ratios.
See V’s valuation ratios compared to the Market Index.
