Visa Inc. (V), a payments technology company, operates as a retail electronic payments network worldwide. The company facilitates commerce through the transfer of value and information among financial institutions, merchants, consumers, businesses, and government entities. The company went public in 2008, and has managed to pay and increase dividends ever since. I initiated a position in 2011, afterwitnessing the strong dividend growth,the attention of Berkshire Hathaway, and the fact that the stock was available at 20 times earnings
Currently, Visais slightly overvaluedat 20.50 times forward 2015 earnings, and has a low yield of 0.80%. If the company manages to earn $20 per share by 2020, and even if the P/E ratio compresses to 15 times by, the stock could provide very good returns to investors. Another plus is that dividend growth could result in very high yields on cost for Visa investors in 15 - 20 years. Of course, long-term growth is never certain, which is why I do not plan on adding to Visa unless I can buy it at 20 times forward earnings or less. However, I am willingto break my rules slightly, and accept 20 times forward earnings for 2015. If we get a more significant stock correction, I would be a buyer and will try to increase my position to a top 20 level ( meaning it will be in my top 20 portfolio positions by size).
