Visa Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) has reportedly proposed a $100 million payment to Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to secure the Apple Card network. This move comes amid fierce competition among the country&#8217;s leading payment networks.
What Happened: Apple Card is up for grabs as Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), the bank currently backing it, plans to exit the consumer lending sector. Major banks such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) and Synchrony Financial are vying to take over as the card issuer. Visa has stepped in with a $100 million bid to secure the Apple Card network,
Visa, Apple and Mastercard did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Meanwhile, payment networks, including Visa Inc. and American Express Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>), are in a tight race to replace Mastercard Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>) as the network for the Apple Card. Apple Inc. is expected to choose a network for its card before selecting a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/01/43019382/apple-eyes-barclays-and-synchrony-to-replace-goldman-sachs-as-credit-card-partner-report">bank to replace</a> Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Visa Inc., the largest network, has made a bold bid to win the card, offering an upfront payment to Apple that is typically reserved for the largest card programs, according to a report by <a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/apple-card-visa-mastercard-deal-3ce762da">The Wall Street Journal</a>.

Mastercard Inc. is also making a strong effort to retain its role as the network for the Apple Card, exploring the use of its fintech, Finicity, to enable consumers to view their deposit-account balances within the Apple ecosystem.
Why It Matters: The Apple card program, with approximately $20 billion in balances, is one of the largest co-branded deals to change issuers. The network that secures this deal is expected to remain closely connected to Apple&#8217;s future payment efforts. Visa Inc. remains the undisputed scale leader in the payments industry, but Mastercard Inc. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44435113/visa-vs-mastercard-the-heavyweight-bout-of-payments">has been outpacing </a>its rival in growth. This competition for the Apple card network could significantly impact the balance of power in the payments industry.
The outcome of this competition could have significant implications for the future of Apple&#8217;s payment efforts and the payments industry at large.
Visa holds a momentum rating of 89.49% and a quality rating of 81.30%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/V" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

Visa Offers $100 Million To Secure Apple Card Network In A Bid To Outdo Mastercard: Report

<a href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/apple-card-visa-mastercard-deal-3ce762da?mod=latest_headlines" title="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/apple-card-visa-mastercard-deal-3ce762da?mod=latest_headlines">https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/apple-card-visa-mastercard-deal-3ce762da?mod=latest_headlines</a>

'Visa Offers Apple Roughly $100 Million To Take Over Credit Card From Mastercard' - Wall Street Journal

<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44376666/high-yield-dividend-investor-making-12900-per-year-names-10-favorite-stocks-took-me-almost-3-years-to-get-to-this-point">Dividend</a> investing has long been a favorite strategy for retirees and income-focused investors. Unlike growth-oriented assets, which depend on share price appreciation, dividend-paying stocks generate regular payouts.
But why do so many investors run to dividend stocks and ETFs? Dividends offer a way to compound wealth by reinvesting the generated income while also providing financial stability in <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44476778/author-says-dave-ramsey-is-completely-ignorant-of-sequence-of-returns-risk-questions-whether-1-million-is-really-enough-for-retirement">retirement</a>. High-quality dividend companies also have a history of increasing payouts year after year, helping investors keep up with inflation.

</ul>
Still, total returns are also important in investing, as one investor demonstrated. The investor, a Reddit user who shared his journey in the r/Dividends community, is a 61-year-old retiree who spent 37 years building his portfolio on growth before switching to a dividend strategy when approaching retirement. He ultimately crafted a portfolio yielding around 8% and named his top holdings in the thread.
&#8220;My big break was being mostly cash in early 2020 because I felt the market had gotten too expensive. That was largely luck but it worked great. March 2020 was really fun. I spent between $1 million to $2 million on stocks in about 30 days and the resulting market rise after that secured my retirement. When I started learning about dividends, I included it as one option but still looked at it from a perspective of total returns,&#8221; he shared.
Now, he lives comfortably off dividends, rarely selling stocks for income, and relying on growing dividend payouts. The investor has shared his holdings in the Reddit community, so let&#8217;s see what they are.

Still, this approach can also be risky for some if they pick the wrong stocks. One military veteran and Reddit user recently shared his investing journey that started with him making costly mistakes to now earning him $10,000 in dividends per year.
With 13 years of investing experience, the poster, an enlisted service member, had to learn what works through trial and error. He says he tried to be smarter than the market early on, leading to him selling big winners too soon and holding onto losers for too long.
&#8220;I bought [General Electric] in my Roth at what I thought was a great price point of $14.50 or something. Had to [dollar-cost average] over several years to bring the cost basis down and missed out on having that money in better spots in the biggest bull market year I have been a part of,&#8221; he shared.
The 36-year-old mentioned that he&#8217;s gradually shifted his strategy to dividend shares now and his $296,570 portfolio already generates over $10,000 annually in dividends. Let&#8217;s see what dividend shares and ETFs the investor holds.

World Network (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">WLD</a>) was one of the cryptocurrency market&#8217;s hottest coins Monday, amid speculation about a deal with Visa Inc.

What happened: WLD, the native currency of the decentralized identity verification project, jumped over 11%, becoming the fifth-most successful cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours.
The coin's trading volume nearly tripled to $234 million, as the buying pressure tossed it to a two-week high of $0.94.
The rally outshone returns by market heavyweights Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), which grew 0.74% and 2.79%, respectively, in the last 24 hours.

Sam Altman-Founded Worldcoin Network Beats Bitcoin, Ethereum With 11% Rally Amid Visa Partnership Reports

The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/momentum-trading">momentum trade</a> just hit a wall and the unwind has been nothing short of brutal.
JPMorgan analysts Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, Arun Jain and Bhupinder Singh note that the sharp reversal in momentum has erased two years of gains in just three weeks &#8211; one of the fastest unwinds in four decades. 
With mega-caps leading the drop and a dramatic shift towards low-volatility stocks, investors need to rethink their strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Crash?</h2>
Extreme crowding in momentum stocks &#8211; primarily fueled by AI enthusiasm, high-rate expectations and pro-growth bets—came under pressure as macro risks resurfaced. 
The result? A 17% average decline among the Mag-7, triggering a $5.8 trillion market cap wipeout in the S&amp;P 500.
While forced liquidations and systematic deleveraging have cooled the immediate risk of another crash, JPMorgan warns that if this is a true regime shift, the unwind may only be one-third complete.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Is Momentum Flowing?</h2>
Momentum is rotating away from quality growth and into low volatility and defensive plays. 
According to JPMorgan, stocks in the following sectors are seeing the strongest bid:
Utilities: NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), Ameren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEE#NYSE">AEE</a>) and Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>)
Insurance: Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), Brown &amp; Brown Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRO#NYSE">BRO</a>) and Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>)
Financial Services: Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)
Crowding in low volatility names has surged, pushing relative P/E valuations to record highs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Next</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Low-Volatility Boom</h4>
With the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) (small caps) lagging and defensive ETFs like the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) seeing inflows, the shift towards safety is clear. But JPMorgan warns that a further rate drop could push low volatility stocks into bubble territory, much like 2016.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">High-Volatility Bargains</h4>
According to JPMorgan, stocks that have seen heavy multiple compression, making them attractive for value-seeking investors, include:
Semiconductors: Monolithic Power Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>))
Software: (Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>))
Tech Hardware: (Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>), NetApp Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>))
However, without an intra-cycle reset or Fed pivot, a broad move into beaten-down growth stocks may be premature.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Fed's Next Move</h4>
If rate expectations shift lower, expect bond proxies to gain further. If not, the defensive rally may stall, forcing a reassessment of positioning.
Momentum traders just got whipsawed and the rotation into low-volatility stocks has been rapid. While some safety plays look solid, overheating risks remain.
Investors should watch for signs of a structural shift &#8211; and be ready to pivot before the next wave hits.
