Industry leader
Visa Inc. V
Buffett-Fit: 79/100
Visa and Mastercard are textbook two-sided network monopolies - more cardholders attract more merchants, more merchants attract more cardholders, and the loop compounds for decades. ROIC routinely above 40%, FCF margins above 50%. Watch interchange-regulation risk + the long shadow of stablecoin alternatives.
