Here is what Lakehouse Capital specifically said about Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) in its investor letter:

“It was business as usual for Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) as it delivered another solid quarter driven by strong US growth, the ongoing gradual displacement of cash with digital transactions, and accelerated growth in cross-border volume as travel spending plays catch up post-Covid. Visa processed 49.3 billion transactions on its network, up 16% year-on-year and 39% above pre-pandemic levels, driving $2.7 trillion in total payments volume, both of which have more than recovered from the impacts of the pandemic. The total number of cards in Visa’s network also grew by 8% year-on-year to 3.9 billion.

Cross-border transactions were a key issue for Visa during the pandemic, but this headwind has now turned into a tailwind. Constant currency cross-border volumes rose 40% (48% excluding intra-Europe) in the most recent quarter and we expect this trend will continue to play out in the year ahead. While a potential economic slowdown and geopolitical concerns are always a risk, we take comfort in the fact that Visa has a sixty-plus year track record of successfully overcoming numerous macroeconomic challenges that in the moment appeared insurmountable. We believe this current episode will prove no different and that the combination of a very attractive industry structure and the ongoing secular shift towards digital payments provides a foundation that will enable Visa to continue winning for many years to come.”
