It is active in forging alliances and partnerships owing to which, card sales volume expanded on average rate of 4.6% in the last five years (2013-2018), primarily riding on the rise in its customer base using Discover card.

Visa works as a payments technology company worldwide. It pulled off average four-quarter positive surprise of 3.4%. It is a Zacks #2Ranked player.

The Hottest Tech Mega-Trend of All
Last year, it generated $8 billion in global revenues. By 2020, it's predicted to blast through the roof to $47 billion. Famed investor Mark Cuban says it will produce "the world's first trillionaires," but that should still leave plenty of money for regular investors who make the right trades early.
