Visa Inc (NYSE:V) is one of the best non-tech and non-AI stocks to buy, according to Redditors, amid the company’s near-dominance in the payments card services market. The company recently posted upbeat quarterly results and said it expects low double-digit revenue growth in fiscal 2026. Visa recorded double-digit gains in online and travel-related spending as consumers continue to spend despite macroeconomic worries.

“We are not economic forecasters, so we’re assuming the macroeconomic environment stays generally where it is today and consumer spending remains resilient. On key business drivers, we are assuming no material change from the Q4 2025 growth levels in 2026. On pricing, for 2026, we expect the benefits of new pricing to be similar in magnitude and timing as in 2025, with the majority going into effect in the back half.”

Sands Capital Select Growth Strategy stated the following regarding Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) in its second quarter 2025 investor letter:

Visa Inc. (NYSE:V) operates the world’s largest retail electronic payment network. Shares declined in June amid a broader selloff in card network stocks following stablecoin-related headlines. Unlike the market, we do not view stablecoin proliferation as a threat to card volumes; in fact, we believe it could expand the addressable market for card networks. While stablecoins may have utility in cross-border business-to business transactions, we think they are unlikely to disrupt consumer-to-merchant payments, where cards offer a compelling value proposition—rewards, liquidity, ubiquity, buyer protections, and trust. Moreover, card networks could enhance stablecoin adoption by providing the rules, protections, and services needed for broader, mainstream use.
