This article recommends Visa (V) as a more compelling investment than American Express (AXP) despite American Express’s recent strong performance. The author highlights Visa’s pure-play payment processor model, which carries less credit risk and results in a capital-light, high-margin business. Visa is currently trading at a multi-year low valuation, making it an attractive buy for investors concerned about economic uncertainty and potential industry policy changes like credit card interest rate caps.
