Visa Stock Price Forecast & Long-term Prediction

Price for 12/21/2024 - 317.71 USD 

For the coming month the forecast on Visa stocks is bullish. The target price range for mid-February is between $305 and $315. It is equivalent to 11-14% of the current value.

Based on data from the Market Screener platform, Wedbush Securities and Goldman Sachs expect Visa to grow. BeatMarket specialists also consider the probability of maintaining the bullish trend to be extremely high.

The quotations reached the historical maximum in December 2023. The price chart approached the upper line of Bollinger Bands. But many indicators give buy signals on all time frames. 

According to analysts, the price target for the stock at the beginning of 2024 is $277.50. According to our prediction, a strong resistance level is the $265 threshold. If the external background is unfavorable, the quotes may be unable to pass it. In case the uptrend breaks, the support levels will be as follows:

• $251,33;

• $227,58;

• $211,50.

Quotes are above the 50 and 200 daily moving averages. But there is no signal for trend reversal yet. RSI and MACD oscillators do not indicate the overbought asset.

Since 2020 Visa has demonstrated a stable increase in revenue and net profit. Over 3 years, the growth of the first of the above-mentioned indicators is about 50%. The latter - almost 70%. Financial data from the most recent reports of the company are given below in the Key Financial Indicators section.

Visa may not seem attractive enough on the most popular multiples. Neil Patel from The Motley Fool notes that the company's P/E multiple is overstated. As of mid-January 2024, this ratio is actually higher than the industry average. The difference is about 50%.

But Visa's PEG Ratio is only 1.64. That is also considered above a fair valuation. Still, this value is lower than, for example, those of Apple or Microsoft.

For information on other key ratios, please refer to the table.

Visa stock is considered stable and low-volatility. The company has been demonstrating fast recovery after all crises of the last 5 years. This speaks about high potential and investors' faith in the future of the business.

Most analysts assume that in the next 5 years the company's quotations will grow steadily. Small corrections will be explained by the external background and will be quickly repaid by the market.

In the coming months, companies promise to rise above the $300 bar. For example, Trevor Williams from Jefferies calls the target price the level of $305. And experts of Goldman Sachs - $318.

By the end of the coming five year period, Visa is expected to join the ranks of issuers with capitalization of more than $1 trillion. Even moderate predictions promise growth of quotations by 1.5 times and more. Very few pessimists believe that the company's development will stagnate. Yet they do not give bearish forecasts, but promise only extremely slow growth. 

According to the consensus forecast from several dozen analysts, the decline in Visa's value is possible only in the next year. All longer-term predictions are somewhat bullish. 

The reasons for this are the company's steadily improving fundamentals. It is constantly expanding its business. Therefore, it is expected to keep growing revenue, net income and EPS.

According to forecasts, in 5 years the value of Visa stock will reach the range of $315-$1599.5. BeatMarket experts stick to the midpoint position. We believe that a reasonable growth potential estimate for today is the range from $400 to $600.

The company's strengths that will contribute to the growth of quotations:

• good diversification by regions of presence;

• high market share;

• increasing product demand;

• expansion of activities, readiness to introduce the latest technologies.

Still, risks of the company should be kept in mind as well. First of all, these are possible changes in the regulation of the payment processing market. The second is the spread of alternative payment methods. However, the company is trying to turn the latter to its advantage. It is actively expanding its presence in the world of cryptocurrency.

The company has successfully started 2024. In January, its quotations managed to renew the historical maximum. The forecasts of most leading experts are also optimistic. But there are also bearish predictions.

According to the data published by NASDAQ, the expected target price is:

• $265 in the negative scenario;

• $303.68 is the average;

• $326 in bullish outlook. 

According to the Wall Street Zen platform, the minimum forecast price for Visa at the end of 2024 is $252. At that, the optimistic scenario coincides with the one mentioned above - $326.

The stock has an analyst rating of Strong Buy at the beginning of February 2024. The main bulls' argument is expectation of further growth of the stock market on the background of rates decreasing. Good financial reports of the company also support the quotations.

Forecasts for Visa in 2025 are bullish. Analysts point out that the company has many growth drivers. Among them are the increasing demand for its services, and the expansion of its activities. A decline in interest rates will also be positive.

Various popular services offer the following forecasts for the end of 2025:

• $ 319,49 - Coincodex;

• $435-589 - Gov Capital;

• $466-$548 - 30rates.

Such unanimity in bullish forecasts is due to fundamental factors. All the forecasts promise stable improvement of the company's financial indicators. 

BeatMarket analysts also share the bullish outlook. But we do not expect a quick move above the $500 mark. Our detailed forecast is presented in the table below. 

At the end of 2026, Visa's revenue will increase by 32% to $44bn. EPS growth will reach 46%. Such a forecast was published by Wall Street Zen platform. No doubt, these financial results will favorably influence quotations. 

Traditionally, analysts differ in their predictions. Below are the target prices, which are promised by various data sources:

• Wallet Investor are rather pessimistic, their forecast is $293.82-$295.58;

• Stock Scan has a moderate position and promises a price in the range of $354.5-$446;

• Gov Capital is optimistic and expects the price to rise to $454-$614.

BeatMarket experts share a moderate viewpoint. We take a bullish outlook. But we do not expect the quotations to fix above the $500 mark. For more details see the table below.

Stock Analysis service assumes that in 2027 Visa's revenue will amount to $48.62bn. This is an increase of more than 1.5 times relative to last year's level. According to the source, EPS will double. 

Many experts give a bullish forecast on Visa based on such expectations. Despite this, there are analysts who do not believe in the growth of capitalisation. The most interesting predictions on V stock prices for 2027:

• $305 - by Wallet Investor;

• $392-$442 - by Stock Scan;

• $933-$1262 - by Gov Capital.

Despite the company's success, Wallet Investor has lowered its target price. Earlier it promised a level of about $342 by March 2027. BeatMarket analysts do not share such pessimism.

Rich Duprey, a member of InvestorPlace, considers that there are reasons to believe in Visa's growth. In his opinion, the company's capitalization could exceed $1 trillion by 2028. For that to happen, the quotes would need to nearly double. 

Here is a brief overview of forecasts from other experts:

• $315 - by the extremely pessimistic Wallet Investor;

• $496 by Coincodex;

• to $1599.5 by the optimistic Gov Capital.

BeatMarket analysts agree with the high potential of Visa. The company's business structure allows us to believe that its capitalisation will cross the $1 trillion threshold.
