Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines. As a result, and together with a sizable multi-billion dollar share repurchasing program, delivered a CAGR return of over 27.5% over the past decade.</p><p><blockquote>Visa(V)一直是财富积累的终极成功故事。尽管他们不支付高股息收益率,但从借记和账户余额融资方式向数字和信贷(或简称债务)的转变对公司的营收和利润来说是一个重大利好。因此,加上数十亿美元的大规模股票回购计划,在过去十年中实现了超过27.5%的CAGR回报率。</blockquote></p><p> Now, as expected, this debit-to-debt transition rate is slowing as most of the developed world has already shifted to paperless, contactless and debit-less financial situations and this is seen by analyst forecasts slowing growth rates from 27% to 15% over the next 5 years. Although I do believe that the company is likely to beat these expectations by a handsome margin, it's still slightly concerning for the longer-run return prospects.</p><p><blockquote>现在,正如预期的那样,随着大多数发达国家已经转向无纸化、非接触式和无借记的财务状况,这种借记到债务的转变速度正在放缓,分析师预测未来5年的增长率将从27%放缓至15%。尽管我确实相信该公司可能会大幅超出这些预期,但对于长期回报前景来说,这仍然有点令人担忧。</blockquote></p><p> Although we can have the dividend vs buyback debate all day every day, I think that there should be some consideration to a dividend hike as they currently only pay a 0.5% annual dividend yield which does not entice investors given the slowing growth rate for the longer run.</p><p><blockquote>尽管我们每天都可以进行股息与回购的辩论,但我认为应该考虑提高股息,因为他们目前只支付0.5%的年股息收益率,考虑到长期增长率放缓,这并不能吸引投资者。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Accumulating Growth & Returning Value</b></p><p><blockquote><b>累积增长与回报价值</b></blockquote></p><p> Visa has seen one of the steadiest share price appreciation environments in the entire stocks market and it has done so on behalf of the transition from debit to credit in almost all of the elements in our lives. We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.</p><p><blockquote>Visa 见证了整个股票市场中最稳定的股价升值环境之一,它这样做是为了在我们生活的几乎所有方面实现从借方到信贷的转变。我们在日常生活中使用信贷,也用于购买汽车、住房、外出就餐以及所有这些高增长领域,随着我们作为一个国家的优先事项的转变,这些领域都出现了巨大的飞跃。普通美国和全球消费者承担的债务水平在社会层面上令人担忧,但由于预计不会很快改变,该公司将从这种稳定的收入流中受益,由于几乎可以忽略不计的维护费用,利润率极高。</blockquote></p><p> Another positive factor is the company's use of share repurchasing to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.</p><p><blockquote>另一个积极因素是该公司利用股票回购来增加每股价值。在过去十年中,该公司每年回购价值约 80 亿美元的自有股票,并获得了新的授权,仅在 2021 年就有能力回购高达 110 亿美元的自有股票。到目前为止,他们已经在 2021 年回购了近 40 亿美元的股票,预计随着今年的进展,他们将加快回购速度,因为他们在大流行后的几个月里减少了股票。该公司利用疫情抛售在 2020 年前几个月购买了价值近 50 亿美元的股票。</blockquote></p><p> Even so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>即便如此,这每年仅减少了大约 2.2% 的流通股。肯定有很大一部分投资者可能更希望公司提供更高的股息收益率,这可以创造更好的价值。由于该公司拥有如此高的毛利率,预计随着他们整合第三方服务和看到更高的整体信贷支出,毛利率只会增加,他们当然可以维持更高的股息收益率并维持一定数量的股票回购。</blockquote></p><p> <b>There's One More Thing</b></p><p><blockquote><b>还有一件事</b></blockquote></p><p> One thing that is slightly concerning to me is the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.</p><p><blockquote>我稍微担心的一件事是该公司的债务状况。几十年来,他们一直没有承担任何长期债务,但近年来积累的长期债务略低于 200 亿美元。因此,他们每年支付超过 5.3 亿美元的利息支出。这里的危险在于,我们正处于利率上升的环境中,尽管他们业务的其他部分将从中受益,但如果他们继续持有其中一些债务,他们每年可能会从资产负债表上消失多达 10 亿美元未来几年。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments.

Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines.

We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.</p><p><blockquote>Visa 见证了整个股票市场中最稳定的股价升值环境之一,它这样做是为了在我们生活的几乎所有方面实现从借方到信贷的转变。我们在日常生活中使用信贷,也用于购买汽车、住房、外出就餐以及所有这些高增长领域,随着我们作为一个国家的优先事项的转变,这些领域都出现了巨大的飞跃。普通美国和全球消费者承担的债务水平在社会层面上令人担忧,但由于预计不会很快改变,该公司将从这种稳定的收入流中受益,由于几乎可以忽略不计的维护费用,利润率极高。</blockquote></p><p> Another positive factor is the company's use of share repurchasing to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.</p><p><blockquote>另一个积极因素是该公司利用股票回购来增加每股价值。在过去十年中,该公司每年回购价值约 80 亿美元的自有股票,并获得了新的授权,仅在 2021 年就有能力回购高达 110 亿美元的自有股票。到目前为止,他们已经在 2021 年回购了近 40 亿美元的股票,预计随着今年的进展,他们将加快回购速度,因为他们在大流行后的几个月里减少了股票。该公司利用疫情抛售在 2020 年前几个月购买了价值近 50 亿美元的股票。</blockquote></p><p> Even so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>即便如此,这每年仅减少了大约 2.2% 的流通股。肯定有很大一部分投资者可能更希望公司提供更高的股息收益率,这可以创造更好的价值。由于该公司拥有如此高的毛利率,预计随着他们整合第三方服务和看到更高的整体信贷支出,毛利率只会增加,他们当然可以维持更高的股息收益率并维持一定数量的股票回购。</blockquote></p><p> <b>There's One More Thing</b></p><p><blockquote><b>还有一件事</b></blockquote></p><p> One thing that is slightly concerning to me is the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.</p><p><blockquote>我稍微担心的一件事是该公司的债务状况。几十年来,他们一直没有承担任何长期债务,但近年来积累的长期债务略低于 200 亿美元。因此,他们每年支付超过 5.3 亿美元的利息支出。这里的危险在于,我们正处于利率上升的环境中,尽管他们业务的其他部分将从中受益,但如果他们继续持有其中一些债务,他们每年可能会从资产负债表上消失多达 10 亿美元未来几年。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments.

They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.\nSlowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here\nThe reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.\nThe company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate. For the next 5 years,they currently expect a CAGR of 13.9% to EPS, significantly less than the past 5 years. Here are the figures for 2020 through 2025:\n(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)\n\n\n\n\n\nEven as the company has beaten expectations for most of the past decade quarterly reporting, it's unclear if this will continue as analysts project that the company's margins will improve significantly over the next few years, as evident by sales growth expectations. This doesn't make much sense to me as more competitive pressures and third-party services like cashback, advertising revenue sharing services and more will start eating at the company's sky-high margins over the next several years.\nFor sales, analysts currently expect Visa to report a sales CAGR of 10.3% throughout the same timeframe as I mentioned earlier for EPS projections. This means that the company will increase margins as they expect EPS to grow at a higher, near 14% growth rate over the same period.\n(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)\n\n\n\n\n\nI continue to believe that the company may beat sales expectations as we see stronger transition figures but I do not believe we'll be seeing much EPS beats if they continue to guide for margin expansion. The transitions within these industries away from high-interest products to still-high-but-lower interest products are almost certain to put a small but significant damper on margin growth.\nInvestment Conclusion\nVisa has a bright future ahead and with the roughly 15% expected EPS growth rate and the additional 2.2% buyback rate, it is nearly certain to beat the overall market return rate, which has historically been just over 10%. Even so, the company growth rate is inevitably slowing, and with rising competitive pressure and third party services expenses, I believe there needs to be more to entice long term yield investors who may not be all that optimistic about the company's ability to continue and beat the market without being paid to wait.\nThe company has more than enough cash to increase its dividend yield to over 2% while continuing the same level of share repurchasing. Investing that cash has been good for the company but has not brought even close to the same level of return that hiking dividend or increasing buyback will do.\nI remain bullish on the company's long-term prospects but am waiting to see some more of a focus on shareholder value before adding to a position.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"V":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1812,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":890403455,"gmtCreate":1628126443577,"gmtModify":1633753350853,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Wow!","listText":"Wow!","text":"Wow!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/890403455","repostId":"2157748627","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1790,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807230800,"gmtCreate":1628037994300,"gmtModify":1633754196263,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/807230800","repostId":"2156209941","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1635,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807128522,"gmtCreate":1628008457266,"gmtModify":1633754415633,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/807128522","repostId":"1102455284","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2158,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807128949,"gmtCreate":1628008392481,"gmtModify":1633754415975,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Yes!","listText":"Yes!","text":"Yes!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/807128949","repostId":"1171505764","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2764,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806599380,"gmtCreate":1627663353840,"gmtModify":1633757285397,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3582550643152901","authorIdStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Great!

Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines. As a result, and together with a sizable multi-billion dollar share repurchasing program, delivered a CAGR return of over 27.5% over the past decade.</p><p><blockquote>Visa(V)一直是财富积累的终极成功故事。尽管他们不支付高股息收益率,但从借记和账户余额融资方式向数字和信贷(或简称债务)的转变对公司的营收和利润来说是一个重大利好。因此,加上数十亿美元的大规模股票回购计划,在过去十年中实现了超过27.5%的CAGR回报率。</blockquote></p><p> Now, as expected, this debit-to-debt transition rate is slowing as most of the developed world has already shifted to paperless, contactless and debit-less financial situations and this is seen by analyst forecasts slowing growth rates from 27% to 15% over the next 5 years. Although I do believe that the company is likely to beat these expectations by a handsome margin, it's still slightly concerning for the longer-run return prospects.</p><p><blockquote>现在,正如预期的那样,随着大多数发达国家已经转向无纸化、非接触式和无借记的财务状况,这种借记到债务的转变速度正在放缓,分析师预测未来5年的增长率将从27%放缓至15%。尽管我确实相信该公司可能会大幅超出这些预期,但对于长期回报前景来说,这仍然有点令人担忧。</blockquote></p><p> Although we can have the dividend vs buyback debate all day every day, I think that there should be some consideration to a dividend hike as they currently only pay a 0.5% annual dividend yield which does not entice investors given the slowing growth rate for the longer run.</p><p><blockquote>尽管我们每天都可以进行股息与回购的辩论,但我认为应该考虑提高股息,因为他们目前只支付0.5%的年股息收益率,考虑到长期增长率放缓,这并不能吸引投资者。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Accumulating Growth & Returning Value</b></p><p><blockquote><b>累积增长与回报价值</b></blockquote></p><p> Visa has seen one of the steadiest share price appreciation environments in the entire stocks market and it has done so on behalf of the transition from debit to credit in almost all of the elements in our lives. We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.</p><p><blockquote>Visa 见证了整个股票市场中最稳定的股价升值环境之一,它这样做是为了在我们生活的几乎所有方面实现从借方到信贷的转变。我们在日常生活中使用信贷,也用于购买汽车、住房、外出就餐以及所有这些高增长领域,随着我们作为一个国家的优先事项的转变,这些领域都出现了巨大的飞跃。普通美国和全球消费者承担的债务水平在社会层面上令人担忧,但由于预计不会很快改变,该公司将从这种稳定的收入流中受益,由于几乎可以忽略不计的维护费用,利润率极高。</blockquote></p><p> Another positive factor is the company's use of share repurchasing to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.</p><p><blockquote>另一个积极因素是该公司利用股票回购来增加每股价值。在过去十年中,该公司每年回购价值约 80 亿美元的自有股票,并获得了新的授权,仅在 2021 年就有能力回购高达 110 亿美元的自有股票。到目前为止,他们已经在 2021 年回购了近 40 亿美元的股票,预计随着今年的进展,他们将加快回购速度,因为他们在大流行后的几个月里减少了股票。该公司利用疫情抛售在 2020 年前几个月购买了价值近 50 亿美元的股票。</blockquote></p><p> Even so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>即便如此,这每年仅减少了大约 2.2% 的流通股。肯定有很大一部分投资者可能更希望公司提供更高的股息收益率,这可以创造更好的价值。由于该公司拥有如此高的毛利率,预计随着他们整合第三方服务和看到更高的整体信贷支出,毛利率只会增加,他们当然可以维持更高的股息收益率并维持一定数量的股票回购。</blockquote></p><p> <b>There's One More Thing</b></p><p><blockquote><b>还有一件事</b></blockquote></p><p> One thing that is slightly concerning to me is the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.</p><p><blockquote>我稍微担心的一件事是该公司的债务状况。几十年来,他们一直没有承担任何长期债务,但近年来积累的长期债务略低于 200 亿美元。因此,他们每年支付超过 5.3 亿美元的利息支出。这里的危险在于,我们正处于利率上升的环境中,尽管他们业务的其他部分将从中受益,但如果他们继续持有其中一些债务,他们每年可能会从资产负债表上消失多达 10 亿美元未来几年。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments. Moreover, although they've been investing less money and returning less interest income, they have been retiring the high-yield debt ahead of schedule and as a result, interest expense has been on the decline. It's unclear what the company's priorities will be moving forward but I do expect more of this to continue. They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.</p><p><blockquote>积极的一面是,该公司目前确实持有有史以来最高的现金头寸,现金和等价物略高于 180 亿美元,另有 12 亿美元的短期投资。此外,尽管他们投入的资金越来越少,利息收入也越来越少,但他们一直在提前偿还高收益债务,因此利息支出一直在下降。目前还不清楚该公司未来的优先事项是什么,但我确实预计这种情况会继续下去。如果他们找不到更高的投资回报率(投资回报率)来使用现金,他们确实有可能偿还大部分非固定利率债务。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Slowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here</b></p><p><blockquote><b>增长率放缓:为什么我们都在这里</b></blockquote></p><p> The reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.</p><p><blockquote>我之所以谈论对更高收益率以及各种债务和现金头寸的需求,是因为,由于债务向债务的转变,在经历了数十年的加速增长后,销售和收入增长率自然会放缓。</blockquote></p><p> The company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate. For the next 5 years,they currently expect a CAGR of 13.9% to EPS, significantly less than the past 5 years. Here are the figures for 2020 through 2025:</p><p><blockquote>过去 10 年,该公司的复合年增长率超过 27.5%,现在分析师预计该公司的增长率仍然很高,但正在放缓。他们目前预计未来 5 年每股收益的复合年增长率为 13.9%,明显低于过去 5 年。以下是 2020 年至 2025 年的数据:</blockquote></p><p> <p class=\"t-img-caption\"><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/9b41c1540a1a9a1f8b55455396430ced\" tg-width=\"906\" tg-height=\"214\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><span>(Source: Analyst projections,Seeking Alpha)</span></p><p><blockquote><p class=\"t-img-caption\"><span>(资料来源:分析师预测,Seeking Alpha)</span></p></blockquote></p><p> <table> <tbody> <tr></tr> </tbody> </table> Even as the company has beaten expectations for most of the past decade quarterly reporting, it's unclear if this will continue as analysts project that the company's margins will improve significantly over the next few years, as evident by sales growth expectations. This doesn't make much sense to me as more competitive pressures and third-party services like cashback, advertising revenue sharing services and more will start eating at the company's sky-high margins over the next several years.</p><p><blockquote><table><tbody><tr></tr></tbody></table>尽管该公司在过去十年的大部分季度报告中都超出了预期,但目前尚不清楚这种情况是否会持续下去,因为分析师预计该公司的利润率将在未来几年显着提高,销售增长预期就证明了这一点。这对我来说没有多大意义,因为更多的竞争压力和返现、广告收入分享服务等第三方服务将在未来几年开始侵蚀该公司的天价利润率。</blockquote></p><p> For sales, analysts currently expect Visa to report a sales CAGR of 10.3% throughout the same timeframe as I mentioned earlier for EPS projections.

Even as they don't pay a high dividend yield, the transition from debit and account balance style of financing over to digital and credit (or simply debt) has been a major boon for the company's top and bottom lines.

We use credit for our day-to-day lives as well as buying vehicles, housing, eating out and all of those high-growth segments which are seeing huge jumps as our priorities shift as a nation. The levels of debt that the average American and global consumer is taking on is concerning on a societal level, but as it's not expected to change any time soon, the company is set to benefit from this steady stream of income with sky-high margins due to almost insignificant upkeep expenses.</p><p><blockquote>Visa 见证了整个股票市场中最稳定的股价升值环境之一,它这样做是为了在我们生活的几乎所有方面实现从借方到信贷的转变。我们在日常生活中使用信贷,也用于购买汽车、住房、外出就餐以及所有这些高增长领域,随着我们作为一个国家的优先事项的转变,这些领域都出现了巨大的飞跃。普通美国和全球消费者承担的债务水平在社会层面上令人担忧,但由于预计不会很快改变,该公司将从这种稳定的收入流中受益,由于几乎可以忽略不计的维护费用,利润率极高。</blockquote></p><p> Another positive factor is the company's use of share repurchasing to increase their value per share. Over the past decade, the company has bought back roughly $8 billion worth of its own stock every year and has a new authorization which gives it the ability to buy back as much as $11 billion of its own stock in 2021 alone. So far, they've repurchased almost $4 billion of their stock in 2021 and are expected to accelerate this repurchasing as the year progresses as they've stepped it down during the post-pandemic months. The company used the pandemic sell-off to purchase almost $5 billion worth of stock in the first several months of 2020.</p><p><blockquote>另一个积极因素是该公司利用股票回购来增加每股价值。在过去十年中,该公司每年回购价值约 80 亿美元的自有股票,并获得了新的授权,仅在 2021 年就有能力回购高达 110 亿美元的自有股票。到目前为止,他们已经在 2021 年回购了近 40 亿美元的股票,预计随着今年的进展,他们将加快回购速度,因为他们在大流行后的几个月里减少了股票。该公司利用疫情抛售在 2020 年前几个月购买了价值近 50 亿美元的股票。</blockquote></p><p> Even so, this is only a roughly 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding annually. There surely is a large percentage of investors who would likely prefer the company provide a higher dividend yield, which could create better value. Since the company has such a sky-high gross margin, which is only expected to increase as they integrate third-party services and see higher overall credit spending, they can certainly sustain a higher dividend yield and maintain some amount of share repurchases.</p><p><blockquote>即便如此,这每年仅减少了大约 2.2% 的流通股。肯定有很大一部分投资者可能更希望公司提供更高的股息收益率,这可以创造更好的价值。由于该公司拥有如此高的毛利率,预计随着他们整合第三方服务和看到更高的整体信贷支出,毛利率只会增加,他们当然可以维持更高的股息收益率并维持一定数量的股票回购。</blockquote></p><p> <b>There's One More Thing</b></p><p><blockquote><b>还有一件事</b></blockquote></p><p> One thing that is slightly concerning to me is the company's debt position. They've held off from taking on any long-term debt for decades but in recent years has accumulated just under $20 billion in long-term debt. As a result, they've been paying over $530 million annually in interest expense. The danger here is that we're in a rising rate environment and although other parts of their business will gain from this, there's the potential for them to see as much as $1 billion annually disappear from their balance sheets if they continue to hold some of this debt for the next few years.</p><p><blockquote>我稍微担心的一件事是该公司的债务状况。几十年来,他们一直没有承担任何长期债务,但近年来积累的长期债务略低于 200 亿美元。因此,他们每年支付超过 5.3 亿美元的利息支出。这里的危险在于,我们正处于利率上升的环境中,尽管他们业务的其他部分将从中受益,但如果他们继续持有其中一些债务,他们每年可能会从资产负债表上消失多达 10 亿美元未来几年。</blockquote></p><p></p><p> The positive spin on this is that the company does currently hold their highest ever cash position with just over $18 billion in cash and equivalents as well as another $1.2 billion in short-term investments. Moreover, although they've been investing less money and returning less interest income, they have been retiring the high-yield debt ahead of schedule and as a result, interest expense has been on the decline. It's unclear what the company's priorities will be moving forward but I do expect more of this to continue. They do have the potential to pay back most of the non-fixed-rate debt if they can't find a higher ROI (return on investment) to use the cash.</p><p><blockquote>积极的一面是,该公司目前确实持有有史以来最高的现金头寸,现金和等价物略高于 180 亿美元,另有 12 亿美元的短期投资。此外,尽管他们投入的资金越来越少,利息收入也越来越少,但他们一直在提前偿还高收益债务,因此利息支出一直在下降。目前还不清楚该公司未来的优先事项是什么,但我确实预计这种情况会继续下去。如果他们找不到更高的投资回报率(投资回报率)来使用现金,他们确实有可能偿还大部分非固定利率债务。</blockquote></p><p> <b>Slowing Growth Rate: Why We're All Here</b></p><p><blockquote><b>增长率放缓:为什么我们都在这里</b></blockquote></p><p> The reason I talk about the demand for a higher yield as well as various debt and cash positions is because, naturally, sales and income growth rates are expected to slow after decades of accelerating growth due to the debit-to-debt transition.</p><p><blockquote>我之所以谈论对更高收益率以及各种债务和现金头寸的需求,是因为,由于债务向债务的转变,在经历了数十年的加速增长后,销售和收入增长率自然会放缓。</blockquote></p><p> The company has shown a CAGR of over 27.5% over the past 10 years and now analysts expect the company to report a, still high, but slowing rate.

position.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"V":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1812,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":807128522,"gmtCreate":1628008457266,"gmtModify":1633754415633,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582550643152901","idStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Great!","listText":"Great!","text":"Great!","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":3,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/807128522","repostId":"1102455284","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":2158,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":806384391,"gmtCreate":1627632985713,"gmtModify":1633757586826,"author":{"id":"3582550643152901","authorId":"3582550643152901","name":"Klyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/33ea9606913f634a1d83024cbc093cc7","crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3582550643152901","idStr":"3582550643152901"},"themes":[],"title":"","htmlText":"Oh

The House may then take up the measure.</p><p><blockquote>分析人士预计参议院下周将在两党支持下通过一项法案。然后众议院可能会采取措施。</blockquote></p><p> The bill includes $550 billion in new spending, on top of existing programs. Highlights include $73 billion for clean-energy transmission, $110 billion for roads and bridges, and $7.5 billion for electric-vehicle charging stations. Money would also be doled out for airports, water projects, broadband internet, and initiatives to combat climate-change.</p><p><blockquote>该法案包括在现有项目之外的5500亿美元的新支出。亮点包括730亿美元用于清洁能源传输,1100亿美元用于道路和桥梁,75亿美元用于电动汽车充电站。资金还将用于机场、水利工程、宽带互联网和应对气候变化的倡议。</blockquote></p><p> Passage of a bill still faces steep political hurdles.</p><p><blockquote>该法案的通过仍然面临严峻的政治障碍。</blockquote></p><p> While Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) has indicated his support, the bill could be held up by Democract demands in the House to pass a $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill first. That won’t be easy, especially if Democrats hope to enlist Republican Senators for $1.2 trillion in infrastructure, conditioned on passing a reconciliation bill first.</p><p><blockquote>虽然参议院少数党领袖米奇·麦康奈尔(肯塔基州共和党人)表示支持,但该法案可能会受到众议院民主党人要求首先通过3.5万亿美元预算和解法案的阻碍。这并不容易,尤其是如果民主党人希望在基础设施建设方面争取共和党参议员的支持,条件是首先通过一项和解法案。</blockquote></p><p> Still, if a bill does keep moving forward, Wall Street analysts are likely to raise revenue estimates for 2022 and beyond, anticipating a steady trickle of money from federal, state, and local governments as projects win approval.</p><p><blockquote>尽管如此,如果该法案确实继续推进,华尔街分析师可能会提高 2022 年及以后的收入预期,预计随着项目获得批准,联邦、州和地方政府将源源不断地提供资金。</blockquote></p><p> So how to play it? Four companies that stand to benefit are Jacobs Engineering Group(ticker: J),Hubbell(HUBB),Insteel Industries(IIIN), and Union Pacific(UNP), according to Andrew Little, research analyst at exchange-traded-fund sponsor Global X.</p><p><blockquote>那么怎么玩呢?交易所交易基金赞助商 Global X 的研究分析师 Andrew Little 表示,将受益的四家公司是 Jacobs Engineering Group(股票代码:J)、Hubbell(HUBB)、Insteel Industries(IIIN)和 Union Pacific(UNP)。</blockquote></p><p> Jacobs is a construction company and the lead engineer on several major projects now underway, including a $1.2 billion reconstruction of the I-270 Corridor in Denver, he notes. Jacobs is also involved in renewable-energy projects and builds data centers.</p><p><blockquote>他指出,雅各布斯是一家建筑公司,也是目前正在进行的几个重大项目的首席工程师,包括耗资 12 亿美元重建丹佛 I-270 走廊。雅各布斯还参与可再生能源项目并建设数据中心。</blockquote></p><p> Hubbell manufactures electrical equipment for industrial clients, including products to improve building energy efficiency and power transmission, helping create “smart grids.”</p><p><blockquote>Hubbell 为工业客户制造电气设备,包括提高建筑能效和电力传输的产品,帮助创建 “智能电网 ”。</blockquote></p><p> Insteel manufactures steel wiring used in construction projects and water utilities, including reinforcement of piping and irrigation projects.</p><p><blockquote>Insteel生产用于建筑项目和供水设施的钢丝,包括管道加固和灌溉工程。</blockquote></p><p> Union Pacific runs one of the largest freight-rail networks in the U.S., operating in 23 western states, and would benefit from increased volume of raw materials and industrial goods.</p><p><blockquote>联合太平洋运营着美国最大的货运铁路网络之一,在西部23个州运营,并将受益于原材料和工业品数量的增加。</blockquote></p><p> Investors may be paying a steep premium for these stocks, though.</p><p><blockquote>不过,投资者可能会为这些股票支付高昂的溢价。</blockquote></p><p> Jacobs is up 26% this year and trades at 19 times next-12-month earnings, a 19% premium to its five-year average price/earnings multiple. If there’s upside, however, it could be in infrastructure—Jacobs’ “people and places” business generates $7 billion in annual revenue through modernizing public and private projects, partly to meet higher environmental standards, the company said on a recent earnings call.</p><p><blockquote>雅各布斯今年上涨了 26%,交易价格是未来 12 个月市盈率的 19 倍,比其五年平均市盈率溢价 19%。不过,如果说有什么好处的话,那可能是在基础设施方面--雅各布斯公司在最近的财报看涨期权上表示,该公司的 “人与场所 ”业务通过对公共和私人项目进行现代化改造,每年可产生 70 亿美元的收入,部分原因是为了满足更高的环境标准。</blockquote></p><p> Hubbell is up 27% this year and goes for 21 times earnings, against a five-year P/E average of 18. The company would benefit from increased spending on renewable-energy infrastructure, including solar and wind components.</p><p><blockquote>Hubbell 今年股价上涨 27%,市盈率为 21 倍,而五年平均市盈率为 18 倍。该公司将受益于可再生能源基础设施(包括太阳能和风能组件)支出的增加。</blockquote></p><p> Insteel has gained 75% this year, though it still trades at a modest 13 times earnings. The company is facing supply constraints and logistics issues, though an infrastructure bill would be a benefit, Insteel recently told analysts.</p><p><blockquote>Insteel 今年上涨了 75%,尽管其市盈率仍为 13 倍。Insteel 最近告诉分析师,尽管基础设施法案将是一个好处,但该公司正面临供应限制和物流问题。</blockquote></p><p> Union Pacific stock is only up 5% this year and trades at 20 times earnings, above its five year P/E average of 19.</p><p><blockquote>联合太平洋公司的股价今年仅上涨了 5%,市盈率为 20 倍,高于其五年平均市盈率 19 倍。</blockquote></p><p> Freight volume has been depressed due to supply-chain disruptions, a shortage of semiconductors, and backlogs of goods waiting to be unloaded at U.S. ports.</p><p><blockquote>由于供应链中断、半导体短缺以及美国港口等待卸货的积压货物,货运量一直低迷。</blockquote></p><p> But the railroad is expecting raw materials volume to remain robust as the economy gains momentum. And Union hiked its annual dividend in May by 10% to $1.07 a share, giving it a 2% annualized yield.</p><p><blockquote>但铁路部门预计,随着经济增长势头,原材料销量将保持强劲。Union 在 5 月份将年度股息上调了 10%,至每股 1.07 美元,年化收益率为 2%。</blockquote></p><p> Other infrastructure favorites include aggregates companies Vulcan Materials(VMC) and Martin Marietta Materials(MLM), and industrial-machinery giants Deere(DE) and Caterpillar(CAT).
