HOLD
Makes money on transactions, not interest rates. People worry transactions will decline if there is a recession. He thinks fear is a little over done.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 16/11. Up 13.47%.)
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Likes this company but the valuation is too high for him. Keeps reporting record earnings. Does well in international markets as well. Would buying in the $50-$60 level.
BUY
Transaction business so all credit risks are taken by the banks. Up 17% over last year. About 0.9% yield. PE is reasonable at about 15 times.
BUY
Transaction company. A lot of people think they take credit risks, but they don't. Likes this company. A global play.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 25/11. Up 4%.) Debit card fees have put all the credit card companies in the limelight, which has put some short-term pressure on this stock. Thinks their growth prospects are outside of this debit card issue. Their growth prospects are in emerging markets, particularly in new technologies in emerging markets. Moving to build out it mobile technology capability.
TOP PICK
Now trading at same multiple as MasterCard now so he switched to this one. Growth prospect is where you can swipe your phone as in Asia.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
Started buying in the low to mid-$70 range. Doing all the things that he likes from a shareholder perspective. Hit recently with potential regulatory changes but quite an insignificant portion of their earnings.
BUY
US is watering down the legislation that would have affected them. First time in a long time there is beginning to be an increase in consumer debt so people are feeling more confidant and employment is improving. The negative is that they are spending more on gasoline.
TOP PICK
Clamp down on fees gives an opportunity. Language on the proposed bill is a little softer. Likes the technological advances they’re making.
HOLD
Fallen with the other credit card business over regulatory changes involving fee caps. Thinks it’s good value. Thinks there will be some mitigation to the legislation.
TOP PICK
On a financial bill in the US, there was the Durbin amendment that addressed debit card fees that could be charged by sponsoring banks. Visa has a bigger debit card business than MasterCard (MC-N) and people have discounted Visa to the point where multiples are at about the same now. Expects the bill will be mitigated.
DON'T BUY
Because of the new regulations in the US on limiting transaction fees, he doesn’t recommend the credit card companies.
PARTIAL BUY
Facing some regulatory issues, which have to be sorted out. Really a tollbooth where they don’t take any risks. You can probably buy it cheaper, but not much cheaper. In the long run, an interesting business to own.
TOP PICK
There is a lot of negative sentiment right now: The talk about regulating interchange rates, talk about exclusivity with merchants being removed. But the prospects for Visa have not changed. They are growing their earnings about 15-20% per annum. 17-18 multiple, which is very, very strong. Good global footprint. They are dominant.
