Russia's Putin Says Russia Will Put This Weapon Into Service; Russian Missile Forces Commander Says New Russian Missile Can Hit Targets Throughout Europe

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to return to the White House, renowned economist Mohamed El-Erian is cautioning against media oversimplification of the incoming administration&#8217;s proposed tariff strategies.
What Happened: In a recent statement on X, El-Erian highlighted the intricate nature of Trump&#8217;s tariff discussions, noting that the proposed economic policies encompass at least three complex economic stages influenced by multiple factors, including trade flows, corporate pricing strategies, and geopolitical considerations.
El-Erian&#8217;s core message remains clear: Trump&#8217;s tariff debate requires sophisticated, nuanced analysis that transcends simplistic narratives. &#8220;The issue is quite complex,&#8221; he emphasized, underscoring the need for comprehensive economic understanding beyond headline rhetoric.

<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">It should come as no surprise that the media tends to oversimplify the U.S. tariff debate, with both sides of the argument contributing to this.

Trump&#8217;s proposed economic blueprint, which includes a universal tariff of up to 20% on imports and potentially up to 60% on Chinese goods, has sparked intense economic debate. Tech investor Peter Thiel suggests these tariffs could significantly impact Chinese companies while causing minimal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42028954/peter-thiel-says-trumps-60-china-tariff-would-be-very-very-bad-for-beijing-heres-whats-at-stake">disruption to U.S. consumers</a>.

Why It Matters: Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle warns that Trump&#8217;s proposed universal tariff could push <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/11/42042411/inflation-could-surge-to-3-if-trump-applies-universal-tariffs-goldman-sachs">inflation back to 3%</a>, potentially complicating Federal Reserve monetary strategies. 
The National Retail Federation estimates Trump&#8217;s tariff proposals could reduce annual consumer <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41737933/trump-tariff-proposed-may-cost-americans-78b-in-spending-study">spending by $78 billion</a>.
Prominent business leaders have voiced concerns. Citadel LLC CEO Ken Griffin described Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs as a &#8220;long, slippery slope&#8221; that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/42056528/gop-megadonor-ken-griffin-warns-of-slippery-slope-in-trumps-tariff-policies-sees-us-returning-to-the-business-of-business">could hamper U.S. global competitiveness</a>. 
Retailers like AutoZone and Columbia Sportswear have signaled potential price increases that would be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/41871407/trumps-tariffs-deportations-and-tax-cuts-may-push-prices-higher-experts-say-its-pretty-clear?utm_campaign=partner_feed&amp;utm_source=yahooFinance&amp;utm_medium=partner_feed&amp;utm_content=site&amp;nid=42027079">passed directly to consumers</a>.
"Tariffs would create a headwind to the performance of stocks with high international revenue exposure due to the risk of retaliatory tariffs and heightened geopolitical tensions," Goldman Sachs analyst David Kostin stated.
Goldman Sachs noted that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/06/39467825/us-election-and-tariff-prospects-set-to-threaten-internationally-exposed-stocks-gol">U.S. stocks with domestic sales focus outperformed</a> those with international exposure by 1 percentage point the day after Trump's election and by 4 pp in the following month but underperformed by 9 pp in the next 12 months.

Visa Unusual Options Activity

President-elect Donald Trump's White House win has sparked wildly divergent reactions. While many have expressed despair or even fear, there are those who see opportunities, particularly within the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cannabis-industry">cannabis</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/cryptocurrency-industry">cryptocurrency</a> industries.
Among those who see dollar signs ahead is Ronald Strauss, CEO of GetTangi Corporation — a company that creates payment processing solutions for higher-risk industries and products such as cannabis. The company seeks to eliminate cash from the purchase of legal marijuana transactions through its digital currency, the Tangi token, which is in development at the moment.
&#8220;The lack of a complete digital payment solution is the most significant barrier confronting the legal cannabis sector,&#8221; points out GetTangi on its <a href="https://www.gettangi.com/">website</a>. Companies like Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), MasterCard (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) and other major payment processors continue to refuse to provide service to the marijuana industry. 
Strauss shared his optimism on LinkedIn, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/crypto-blockchain-digital-assets-president-trumps-second-strauss-5t6ff">calling Trump's election</a> "transformative" for the cryptocurrency industry due to his "pro-business stance,&#8221; focus on financial independence and commitment to decentralization as key factors likely to empower industries like crypto and cannabis. &nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Former Trump Advisor And Former Irish Prime Minister</h2>
Adding cachet and credibility to GetTangi's ambitions is its high-profile team, <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2024/11/17/cowen-factor-as-trump-win-cheers-cannabis-crypto-entrepreneur/">noted</a> the Irish Times, which first reported this story. The company's board includes Zachary Fuentes, political advisor and former deputy chief of staff in Trump's first administration (2017-2021).
Another notable figure is Ireland's former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Brian Cowen (2008-2011) a trained lawyer who joined GetTangi's advisory board in 2019. Cowen's involvement, pointed out the Irish Times, was interrupted by a debilitating stroke, followed by a long recovery. 
Now, as the company prepares to launch its own cryptocurrency, Cowen is expected to play a critical role in navigating complex legal landscapes as the company moves closer to introducing the Tangi token. Cowen &#8220;also knows his way to the White House,&#8221; noted the outlet. 
For cannabis entrepreneurs, this fusion of digital innovation and political access could be a game-changer. GetTangi is positioning itself as a leader at the intersection of cannabis and cryptocurrency, a potential sign of wider industry shifts such as paving the way for the adoption of cryptocurrency into mainstream markets, predicts the Irish Times.

How Trump's Election Could Revolutionize Cannabis And Cryptocurrency, CEO Says

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.

Why Visa Stock Hit A New 52-Week High This Week

Editor&#8217;s Note: This story has been updated with a confirmation from ValueAct Holdings.
ValueAct Holdings, L.P. reported holdings worth $3.9 billion in the September quarter after it disclosed major changes in its 13F filing for the third quarter of current fiscal. 
What Happened: One of the major changes in its holdings during Q3 was the addition of 211,500 shares of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) for $121.07 million, representing 3.08% of its total portfolio.
ValueAct Holdings is a hedge fund popularly known for its activist strategies, run by chief executive officer, Mason Morfit. An activist hedge fund usually follows an event-driven strategy and acquires sufficient equity to influence a company's policies, to increase company value. ValueAct has a long history of investing in technology companies and is generally considered to be more constructivist and collaborative than other activist funds.
A ValueAct spokesperson confirmed to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> that the firm has built a $1 billion stake in Meta.
In 2022, Brad Gerstner&#8216;s Altimeter Capital targeted Meta, urging the company to reduce its workforce. Gerstner articulated his concerns in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/10/29380959/meta-investor-proposes-curb-on-employees-strength-metaverse-spending">a letter titled &#8220;Time to Get Fit.</a>
ValueAct fund's specific intentions remain unclear, but CEO Morfit is reportedly supportive of Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s strategic focus on advancing artificial intelligence initiatives, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/12/activist-valueact-has-1-billion-stake-in-meta-sources-say.html">according</a> to CNBC.
Why It Matters: According to its Q3 <a href="https://13f.info/13f/000141881224000021/compare/000141881224000017">13F filing</a>, ValueAct has acquired a passive stake in the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, namely, Meta.

Activist Hedge Fund ValueAct Boosts Meta Stake With $121M Bet, But CEO Morfit Supports Mark Zuckerberg's AI Vision: Here's What Investors Should Know (Updated)

Hedge Funds

LLYVA

ValueAct Holdings' Q3 2024 13F Filing Shows New Stakes In Meta Platforms With 211.5K Shares, Live Nation Entertainment With 1.01M Shares, Visa With 373.6K Shares, Liberty Media Corp Series C With 1.34M Shares, And Liberty Media Corp Series A With 671.8K Shares

Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) shares are trading higher by 6.7% to $310.24 in November 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> as investors anticipate that his economic policies could boost consumer spending and, consequently, transaction volumes—a core revenue driver for Visa.
What To Know: Trump's proposed tax cuts aim to increase disposable income for individuals and corporations, potentially fueling higher consumer spending levels. For Visa, which earns fees from every transaction on its global payment network, an uptick in spending would directly translate into increased processing volume, bolstering revenue growth.
In addition to tax policies, Trump's focus on reducing regulations could benefit Visa's operations in financial technology and digital payments. As new payment technologies and financial products proliferate, less regulatory pressure may allow Visa to innovate and expand its payment solutions more freely, enhancing its market reach in the competitive fintech space.

This flexibility could be crucial as Visa continues to invest in expanding its digital payment services and partnerships, particularly in emerging markets and with e-commerce providers.
What Else: Additionally, Trump's pro-business policies and anticipated infrastructure investments could support overall economic growth, which would likely benefit Visa's large base of business clients by increasing both domestic and international spending. 
While some concerns remain about Trump's potential trade policies, Visa's well-diversified global network positions it to capitalize on spending growth across both consumer and commercial sectors, strengthening investor confidence in Visa's growth trajectory post-election.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy V 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 Visa (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>)'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>, V has a 52-week high of $312.44 and a 52-week low of $245.34.

What's Going On With Visa Stock?

Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) adjusted its financial outlook for 2025-2027, projecting slower net revenue growth <a href="https://investor.mastercard.com/financials-and-sec-filings/sec-filings/sec-filings-details/default.aspx?FilingId=17965214" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">than anticipated</a>.
The new forecast estimates annual net revenue will grow in the &#8220;high-end of low-double-digits,&#8221; a noticeable deceleration compared to the high-teens growth expected for 2022-2024, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-11-13/mastercard-predicts-slower-annual-revenue-growth-through-2027?sref=TBDibEcD" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.
The company anticipates a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the mid-teens for EPS over the next three years, down from its prior expectation of low-20s growth for 2022-2024.

The company aims for an annual operating margin of at least 55% during the 2025-2027 timeframe, up from a minimum target of 50% for 2022-2024.
Mastercard reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41659697/mastercard-q3-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-cross-border-transactions-growth-sees-european-consumer" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter net revenue</a> of $7.37 billion, a 13% increase from the previous year, surpassing the analyst estimate of $7.27 billion. Adjusted earnings per share climbed 15% year-over-year to $3.89, beating the expected $3.74 consensus.
Revenue from the payments network increased by 10% year-over-year (11% on a currency-neutral basis), driven by a 10% rise in gross dollar volume, a 17% growth in cross-border transactions, and an 11% boost in switched transactions. Mastercard anticipates net revenue growth in the low teens for the fourth quarter, above the $7.27 billion analyst forecast.
KeyBanc&#8217;s analyst Alex Markgraff examined credit and debit card volume data from recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41364634/citigroup-remains-a-compelling-investment-opportunity-analysts-take-on-q3-performance" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">third-quarter reports</a> by Bank of America Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BAC#NYSE">BAC</a>), Citigroup Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), and Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>).
Overall, the combined credit card volume for these banks grew 5% year-over-year, down from 6% in the previous quarter. Debit card volume increased by 4% year-over-year, slightly below the 5% growth seen in the second quarter.
The banks reported slower growth in card spending but noted consumer resilience continues, with stabilized spending patterns. JPMorgan highlighted customers have mostly exhausted their &#8220;cash buffer,&#8221; while Bank of America observed consistent payment growth into October.
This modest decline contrasts with forecasts for Mastercard and Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>), for which analysts expected an uptick in card volumes. Despite this, Markgraff believes third-quarter revenue risk remains minimal.
MA Price Action: Mastercard stock is down 1.08% at $523.61 at the last check on Wednesday.

Spotlight on Visa: Analyzing the Surge in Options Activity

In just two years, Chinese-owned Temu has come out of nowhere to become one of the best-known bargain shopping sites, known for its ultracheap and sometimes wacky gadgets and apparel. U.S. consumers are expected to spend about $18 billion on the site this year. Behind the scenes, though, Temu has encountered trouble with the bank that was handling those payments. Citigroup, the fourth-biggest U.S. bank, stopped handling payments for Temu in the U.S. late last year, just a year after the site's launch, following questions raised about Temu's business by payments network Visa, according to people close to the situation. Visa wanted to know whether Temu was doing enough to ensure merchants weren't selling counterfeit or illegal goods.
