ACCE thesis

Visa operates the world's largest electronic payments network, processing transactions between merchants, banks, and cardholders while collecting a small fee on each swipe. The company owns a two-sided network that becomes more valuable as it scales-merchants want access to Visa's massive cardholder base, while banks want to issue cards on the most accepted network. Global payment digitization continues accelerating, with cash-to-card conversion still in early innings across emerging markets where Visa processes less than 15% of total payment volume. Trading at 22x forward earnings despite generating 54% ROE and 97.8% gross margins, the stock offers rare access to a monopolistic toll road on global commerce at a reasonable multiple.
