Marqeta, Inc.
At today's price, Marqeta, Inc. (MQ) is priced for today's economics sustained for ~14.5 years. 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 $3.87 Marqeta trades around 1.6x revenue, low enough that the price sits below what even a modest revenue decline would warrant, on the assumption it eventually earns a roughly 28% operating margin. This is a profitability-conversion bet priced cautiously. The operating story just inflected. Q1 2026 delivered the first quarter of GAAP profit, $8 million of net income, on net revenue of $165.8 million up 19% and total processing volume of $112 billion up 33%, the third straight quarter of 30%
