CFRA Reiterates Buy Opinion On Shares Of Visa Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

Our 12-month target price of $345, up $20, values shares at 29.8x our FY 25 (Sep.) EPS, discounted to V’s 5-year historical average of 31.9x, given the higher rate environment and moderately slower growth expectations. We increase our FY 24 EPS estimate to $10.17 from $10.13 and FY 25’s to $11.56 from $11.49. Visa reported Mar-Q results, with net revenues of $8.78B (+10% Y/Y) and adj-EPS of $2.51, surpassing consensus estimates of $8.62B and adj-EPS of $2.43. As we expected, payment volume (+8% Y/Y) picked up from January’s bad weather scare, with international growth (+11%) once again outpacing the U.S. (+6%). Looking forward, we continue to see opportunity for international outperformance as Asia Pacific (+3% in the quarter) turns from a relative headwind to a tailwind. Cross-border volumes (+16%) surged as consumers continue to travel at higher rates than before the pandemic. Total Visa cards hit another record high of 4.4 billion, with 3.1 billion debit cards and 1.3 billion credit cards.
