Building a platform to do the job of 1 million analysts for  Great Speculations Follow Author Dec 17, 2025, 10:09am EST Visa (V) stock may represent a strong buying opportunity at this time. Why? Because you receive high margins – indicative of pricing power and cash generation ability – for a discounted price. Companies like this produce consistent, predictable profits and cash flows, which lower risk and permit capital reinvestment. The market typically rewards this behavior.  SAN FRANCISCO - FEBRUARY 25: Visa credit cards are arranged on a desk February 25, 2008 in San Francisco, California. Visa Inc. is hoping that its initial public offering could raise up to $19 billion and becoming the largest IPO in U.S. history. (Photo Illustration by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Getty Images What Is Happening With V  V has increased by 10% so far this year, but is actually 35% cheaper when evaluated based on its P/S (Price-to-Sales) ratio compared to one year ago.  Here are the positive developments for the company. Visa’s Q4 2025 results indicated steady global transaction growth, with cross-border volumes up 12% and processed transactions increasing by 10%. This high-volume activity, coupled with a 25% increase in value-added services, supports its fee-based revenue model. Recent collaborations, such as the Orange Money partnership to expand virtual card access in Africa, alongside the introduction of USDC stablecoin settlement in the U.S., are expanding its network and improving utility. Management expects continued low double-digit revenue growth for fiscal year 2026.  V Has Strong Fundamentals  Recent Profitability: Nearly 57.6% operating cash flow margin and 66.4% operating margin LTM.  Long-Term Profitability: Approximately 58.9% operating cash flow margin and 66.8% operating margin over the last three years' average.  Revenue Growth: Visa experienced growth of 11.3% LTM and 10.9% over the last three years' average, but it is not a growth story.  Available At Discount: At a P/S multiple of 11.0, V stock is currently offered at a 35% discount compared to one year ago.  Below is a quick comparison of V's fundamentals with S&amp;P medians.  Summary Trefis MORE FOR YOU  Don’t Expect A Slam Dunk, Though  Although V stock may represent a great investment opportunity, it’s always good to consider a stock’s history of drawdown. Visa stock is not exempt from rough patches. It declined by around 52% during the Global Financial Crisis, suffered a 36% drop in the Covid downturn, and fell nearly 29% during the inflation shock of 2022. Even the 2018 correction contributed to a nearly 19% decrease. Thus, while it may appear solid on paper, these declines indicate that it can still experience setbacks along with the broader market when conditions become unstable. However, the risk is not confined to major market crashes. Stocks can decline even when markets are strong – consider events such as earnings announcements, business updates, and outlook modifications.
