This will give us its price 5 Years from now using the formula: Price = EPS x PE that we then discount using the estimated cost of capital; Historical P/E - we assume mean reversion to the historical P/E values; Historical EV/EBITDA - we assume mean reversion to the historical EV/EBITDA values.

When considering the hypothetical question of what I would buy in the aftermath of another global financial crisis–type event, a few key criteria come to mind. The ideal company should be financially sound, likely to be indiscriminately sold off alongside other financial stocks and well positioned to recover strongly regardless of the future direction of the economic system.

At the core of Visa's strength is its vast and resilient global payments network. This network connects millions of merchants with thousands of financial institutions and their cardholders, creating a powerful moat that deters competition.
