We all love and know Visa, Mastercard, Square and Paypal but pretty sure that WEX is not a company that springs to mind when discussing fintech. From the company profile below you will see that it is not exactly mainstream
but maybe if you have ever used a company fuel card WEX may have been the processor behind it.
It does have a high p/e ratio but it is common among its peers, it is in high growth and making acquisition worldwide to maintain that growth.
Technically the chart is very bullish, with indicators in strong uptrends while also supported by perfectly aligned MA's.
Having just broke out of near term resistance we think it is abuy at $219, with $245 as a reasonable target.
AVERAGE ANALYSTS PRICE TARGET $221
AVERAGE ANALYSTS RECOMMENDATION OVERWEIGHT
P/E RATIO 70
