Behind the Scenes of Nike's Latest Options Trends

Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) stock has climbed following Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>, driven by expectations of economic policies that could stimulate consumer spending and benefit payment processors like Visa.
Trump's proposal to extend and expand tax cuts is likely to increase disposable income for households and encourage corporate investment, leading to a surge in transaction volumes—Visa's primary revenue source.
What Else: Additionally, Trump's deregulatory agenda could benefit Visa by reducing compliance costs in the financial sector, allowing the company to invest more aggressively in innovation. 
This could accelerate Visa's development of digital payment technologies, enhance its global network, and foster partnerships with emerging fintech companies. Visa is well-positioned to capitalize on this growth as digital transactions continue to replace cash worldwide.
Trump's focus on economic expansion through infrastructure spending and trade reforms could further bolster Visa's business segment by increasing corporate transactions and cross-border payment activity. 
Potential inflationary pressures under Trump's policies may also indirectly benefit Visa, as higher transaction values generate increased processing fees.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is V A Good Stock To Buy?</h2>
An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages &#8211; like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/V">Visa</a>&#8216;s page for example &#8211; there are factors like whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.
These are known as capital allocation programs. Visa does pay a dividend, which yields 0.78% per year as of the closing price on Nov. 15, 2024. Feel free to search Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/dividends">dividend calendar</a> for the next company that is due to pay a dividend and determine what kind of yield you can earn for holding a share of the company.
Buyback programs are obviously different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the course of time in which the buyback was authorized. Looking through the latest news on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/V">Visa</a> will often yield whether or not the company has approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, V has a 52-week high of $312.44 and a 52-week low of $245.60.

The Oncology Institute shares are trading lower. The stock may be moving on continued weakness following worse-than-expected Q3 financial results reported on Wednesday.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and SoftBank&#8217;s Masayoshi Son recently shared a few laughs and some bittersweet memories at the AI Summit in Tokyo. At the center of their banter? SoftBank&#8217;s former role as Nvidia&#8217;s largest shareholder – and how they decided to let that golden opportunity slip away.

In 2019, SoftBank (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBF#OTC">SFTBF</a>) sold all of its Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares, which comprised about 4.9% of the company. It seemed like a solid move back then: they had invested around $700 million and ended up making $3.3 billion from the sale. But now, Son admits the decision wasn&#8217;t exactly a home run. Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/06/39489510/the-150-billion-opportunity-softbank-lost-by-selling-nvidia-shares-too-soon">those shares would be worth over $150 billion</a>.
During their talk, Huang jokingly said, &#8220;We can cry together,&#8221; hugging Son on stage as they remembered what might have been. Son, not missing a beat, added that he had to &#8220;tearfully&#8221; sell those shares. Huang even shared that Son once offered him financial backing to buy Nvidia outright – something he now wishes he'd taken. &#8220;That was a great idea,&#8221; Huang said, with a hint of regret.

Huang praised Son for being a visionary who has consistently backed winning innovators like Bill Gates, Jerry Yang and Steve Jobs. Son has a talent for recognizing big opportunities and helping establish major tech moments, from bringing Gates and Jobs to Japan to making Alibaba&#8217;s success possible in China. Yet, even with all those successes, the missed Nvidia chance still stings.
Today, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/NVDA">Nvidia is worth $3.6 trillion</a> and is the world&#8217;s most valuable company, ahead of tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. Its value has skyrocketed thanks to the AI boom, with its chips playing a crucial role in powering AI technologies across the globe. Nvidia&#8217;s stock has surged 2,768% in the last five years, putting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/11/41882908/640416">Jensen Huang&#8217;s net worth</a> at a staggering $127 billion.

SoftBank, meanwhile, remains heavily invested in the future of AI. Son has made it clear that he&#8217;s not done yet. He recently mentioned that his true purpose might be to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41181374/softbanks-masayoshi-son-predicts-artificial-superintelligence-within-a-decade-after-testing-openais">bring about artificial superintelligence (ASI) – </a>a form of AI that could be 10,000 times smarter than humans.

Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) shares on Monday hit a new 52-week high of $534.02 amid overall market strength amid after Donald Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/41772701/trumps-historic-return-7-ways-his-second-term-could-impact-the-us-economy">presidential election win</a>. Also, Piper Sandler reiterated Mastercard with an Overweight and raised its price target from $565 to $575.
The new 52-week high in MA stock comes as investors anticipate favorable economic policies that could drive consumer spending, a key revenue driver for the payments giant.
Additionally, released on Friday, U.S. retail sales in October <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/retail-sales/24/11/42008180/october-retail-sales-top-expectations-as-us-consumers-increase-tech-spending">exceeded expectations</a>, marking the fastest annual growth since July 2024, as consumers displayed strong spending resilience ahead of the presidential election. 
Trump's proposed tax cuts, aimed at both corporations and individuals, are expected to increase disposable income and business investment, potentially leading to a surge in transaction volumes. 
Mastercard, which earns revenue from processing payments on its global network, stands to benefit directly from increased consumer and business activity.

What Else: Additionally, Trump's deregulation agenda may create opportunities for Mastercard to expand its financial technology offerings. 
A rollback of some financial compliance requirements could enable Mastercard to innovate more freely, particularly in emerging payment technologies like blockchain and digital wallets, while making it easier to form partnerships with fintech companies.
Trump's focus on infrastructure investment could also support Mastercard's commercial payments segment. As businesses take on projects tied to federal spending, Mastercard could see increased use of its business-to-business payment platforms, driving growth in a less saturated market.
Potential inflationary pressures from Trump's policies could also benefit Mastercard. Inflation often leads to higher transaction values, which would increase the fees Mastercard collects.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy MA Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Mastercard&#8217;s case, it is in the Financials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
According to data from&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, MA has a 52-week high of $534.02 and a 52-week low of $395.54.
