When taking a look at the fundamentals of a company such as Visa, one of the measures you want to take a look at is how many transactions are being processed, which is an indication of how many people are using a Visa card. Companies like American Express charge a larger amount per swipe to the business, which is why not every place accepts them. With Visa, they charge a competitive percentage of each swipe, which is why they are widely accepted. The overall company would begin to suffer if their swipes or transactions begin to fall because people are using a competitor to use money.
If you take a look at their stock chart using the monthly time frame, you will notice that the price has done nothing but increase, which indicates they have been able to adapt to changes and excel at them as well. When looking at this chart, it is difficult to determine what a good entry point would be, but if you believe the company can continue this success into the future, then it shouldn’t matter where you enter because you believe the company can successfully continue.
Typically, a company's
financial statements are the reports that show the
financial position of the company. There are three main documents that fall into the category of financial statements. These documents include Visa income statement, its balance sheet, and the statement of cash flows. Potential Visa investors and stakeholders use financial statements to determine how well the company is positioned to perform in the future. Although Visa investors may use each financial statement separately, they are all related. The changes in Visa's assets and liabilities, for example, are also reflected in the revenues and expenses that we see on Visa's income statement, which results in the company's gains or losses. Cash flows can provide more information regarding cash listed on a balance sheet, but not equivalent to net income shown on the income statement. Please read more on our
technical analysis and
fundamental analysis pages.

Visa dividend payments follow a chronological order of events, and the associated dates are important to determine the shareholders who qualify for receiving the dividend payment. Visa one year expected dividend income is about USD1.33 per share.

Dividends Paid is fairly stable compared to the past year.

Another angle On Visa
Even though the company has been successful thus far, that doesn’t guarantee it can continue into the future. Some of this risk you need to watch out for is technology and how it’s evolving. With the chips in the card, it forced many people to alter their checkout systems and how they process payments. Visa was able to smooth that out and make it as painless as possible for their cardholders. With Bitcoin, they bring new technology that could begin to shape the way money is sent, because it could improve the security of our funds. Again, if they can continue on their current path, then this will be no problem.
This type of equity plays into many different areas of the economy, but should be looked at and researched closely as it has the potential to provide solid returns. As with any new investment, you want to understand if your portfolio can handle this type of risk and if you still have questions, consult an investing professional as they can help to point you in the right direction. Visa isn’t going anywhere in the near future so it should be worth a few moments of your valuable time.
