Mastercard Inc
At today's price, Mastercard Inc (MA) is priced for +22.1% growth. boothcheck doesn't publish a fair value or a price target; it shows what the price assumes, so you can judge whether that bar is too high. Built from SEC EDGAR filings.
At $489.81 (as of June 27, 2026) only the forward-growth method reaches the price. The asset, earnings-power, and peer-multiple frames all read the stock as richly valued, which means the price is paying for durable compounding that static models structurally cannot capture. The compounding is showing up. Q1 2026 net revenue rose 16% to $8.4 billion, adjusted EPS rose 23% to $4.60, cross-border volume grew 13%, and value-added services grew 22%, lifting the adjusted operating margin to 60.8%.
