This is from a previous bit of research I published. It was a major discovery for me on a recent trip I took around the globe with two other prominent investors (and the U.S. seems still behind the curve on this): Cash and physical credit cards are dying.
Why you might be interested
When major trends shift like this, I always look for how I can benefit as an investor. (And of course, share that knowledge!) That's why I'm keenly excited about this technology that became wildly apparent to us on our long journey.
And as the world emerges from the pandemic, and with the bear market eventually turning back north (as all bear markets have done in the past), I'm especially dialed into this "digital payments revolution" right now.
It's also worth asking how much longer this technology stays under the radar with coverage like this:
- The New York Times calls it "a gold mine of staggering proportions."
- Research firm IDC told the Times: "Literally every business and brand in China is plugged into this ecosystem."
- Fortune Business Insights estimates the digital payments market will grow 24.4% annually to $19.8 trillion in 2026.
I believe this has set up a great opportunity for four outstanding companies whose stocks have been personally recommended by the expert investing team at Motley Fool Stock Advisor.
This is the same team so well-known for investing ahead of the wave when new technologies like this appear on the horizon. For example, here are actual returns for stocks they picked ahead of these other big trends:
- Internet commerce: Amazon -- UP 11,538%
- Video streaming: Netflix -- UP 13,618%
- Digital entertainment: Marvel (now Walt Disney) -- UP 5,068%
- Online travel services: Priceline (now Bookings Holdings) -- UP 8,420%
- Gaming: Activision Blizzard -- UP 2,337%
Of course, not every recommendation is going to be a winner (and anyone who tells you different is lying), but Stock Advisor has beaten the market by more than 3-to-1 since its inception 20 years ago -- with average returns of 354%. That's a remarkable record in a world where most fund managers lose to the market.
