Berkshire Hathaway holds a diversified public equities portfolio valued at approximately $281 billion. Among its numerous investments, one small financial holding has achieved a total return of 428% over the past decade, despite constituting just 1% of the conglomerate’s portfolio as of June 20.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Visa processed $3.9 trillion in total payment volume, marking a 9% year-over-year revenue growth. Currently, 83% of U.S. consumers still use cash for purchases, highlighting Visa’s opportunity in the ongoing transition towards digital payments.
Despite trading at a high price-to-earnings ratio of 34, Visa’s earnings per share have consistently increased at a double-digit rate. Analysts note that while Visa shares are expected to appreciate over the next five to ten years, there may be limited upside potential relative to the broader market.
