Why Visa Will Continue To Do Well
I view Visa as one of the more attractive ways to benefit from AI, as it can monetize agentic commerce and internal productivity gains without having to win the much riskier parts of the AI trade. Value-added services remain a major growth driver, with Q3 revenue up 33% YoY and several portfolios consistently growing above 20%. I increasingly see stablecoins as more of an opportunity than a threat, as Visa builds infrastructure across multiple coins, chains, and tokenized payment formats.
