Hey guys. I was comparing V and MA using Bastter’s comparing tool and a doubt came up... when we see absolute numbers (FCF, EPS...) all numbers are better for VISA. However, when it comes to any of those numbers per share, MA takes advantage. Why EPS and FCF/share are better for MA while all the other numbers are better for Visa (assuming they Net Debt / Ebitda are the same)? Only reason I figure out is V is split into more shares than MA, am I correct? If so, P/E for V should be way higher than MA, which is not the case... (I was just checking multiples to figure out why this difference in numbers per share). I know they are excellent companies and I’ll probably end up buying both of them, but my doubt is more related to fundamentals and to understand those numbers. Thanks!!

@Bastter That’s correct... I forgot about this small variable heheh. 
So I guess the answer to my question is that Visa has more outstanding shares than MA, so that’s why all numbers divided per share are better for MA.

I think you´re right.
The only reason that the "per share" data are the higher number of shares on Visa than on MC.

I think absolute numbers are minor issues.. The consistent growth is what we want to see.

@guisouzaps3, yes, you’re right... Both companies are excellent companies to be shareholder. I was just trying to understand that difference in data per share. 
I’ll split my budget to buy both... anyways they are the two major players in the market, so it’s a worthy diversification :)
