The main question: results are strong, and the P/BV is higher than 95% of its own history. ## What is the Mastercard share price today? Mastercard Incorporated's share price was $647.18 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 17 weeks. That is 20.6% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $484 and $647, and at that close it was at the high of that range. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 5 weeks in a row. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +631% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is ahead of the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does Mastercard pay? Mastercard Incorporated paid $3.37 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.87 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $647.18 that is a yield of 0.52%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is Mastercard on? Mastercard is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies.

## Is Mastercard profitable? Mastercard Incorporated earned $4.6 B of net profit in the Sep 2026 quarter, +17.9% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row of profit growth. Full-year FY25 profit was $15.0 B. Over 4 years profit has grown 14.6% a year on average. That is 47.2% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $3.9 B. For the full year, FY25 profit was $15.0 B (+16.3% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +14.0% on a year earlier and the margin moved +1.5 percentage points. Sales did the work, and the margin was about flat. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed +19.1% and revenue +15.4%. Profit is growing faster than sales: fixed costs are spread over more sales, so each extra dollar of revenue adds more to profit. ## How much revenue does Mastercard make, and is it growing? Mastercard Incorporated reported $9.8 B of income in the Sep 2026 quarter, +14.0% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 12th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 4 years it has grown 14.8% a year on average. The last full year, FY25, came in at $32.8 B. The last four reported quarters add to $36.3 B. FY25 revenue was $32.8 B, +16.4% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +15.4% on average, against 14.8% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing at about the same pace as its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +15.3%, against +15.4% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew +19.0%, against +17.3% a year (stabilising). ## How much does Mastercard keep from what it earns? Mastercard Incorporated's net margin was 47.2% in the Sep 2026 quarter, 1.5 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Across 5 years it has been between 44.6% and 46.0%. The latest quarter is above every full year in that period. Why: the net margin move is clear, but the cost details behind it are not in our data, so we show the move without guessing the reason. ## How many of Mastercard's loans have gone bad? Mastercard Incorporated does not report loan-quality figures this page can read, so this section says so rather than guess. No bad-loan figures are filed in a form this page can read, and none are guessed from the profit line. The income, margin and return sections carry what this business does report. Why: loan quality drives a lender, but its details (new bad loans, recoveries, money set aside) are not in our data for this company. The sections around this one carry what we can back up. ## How fast is Mastercard's loan book growing? Mastercard Incorporated's revenue was $32.8 B in FY25, +16.4% on the year before, so the loan book is growing. The latest quarter was +14.0% on a year earlier. The net margin on that income is 47.2%, +1.5 percentage points on a year ago. Interest income stands in for the size of the loan book; changes in interest rates can move it a few points in any year. In short: a lender grows well when its loan book grows, its margin stays steady and its loans stay clean. Quarterly loan-quality figures are missing here, so revenue growth and margin are the two we watch. ## What is Mastercard's P/BV ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? Mastercard Incorporated's P/BV is 83.6×, near the high end of its own history: higher than 95% of past readings. Its usual P/BV (the middle reading) is 61.6×, over 5.3 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year book value grew while the price moved +17.2%. The price ran ahead of book value, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. Where the price move came from: over 5 years the price moved +13.2% a year; about +2.6% a year came from book-value growth and about +10.6 percentage points from the multiple (the market paying more). The split is approximate (price return minus book-value growth). It shows how much of the move came from the market paying a different multiple. In short: the multiple is high against its own past, so the book value trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the Mastercard business getting better or worse? Mastercard Incorporated's business is growing steadily. Revenue, profit and EPS growth have stayed positive throughout, and ROE is steady at 251.6%. This is based on 12 quarters of 4 measures. Why it matters: steady growth with healthy returns is how a business compounds over time. ## How much does Mastercard earn on its equity and assets? Mastercard Incorporated earned a return on equity of 193% in FY25. Its lowest yearly reading on file was 117% in FY21. On its assets, every $100 earned about $24.45, before the effect of borrowing. For a lender the balance sheet is the business, so the return on equity and on assets have to be read together. That is above the level a bank needs to grow its net worth steadily. Why ROE moved: profit grew 14.6% a year over 4 years while net worth grew more slowly. When earnings recover faster than net worth builds up, ROE climbs off its low. ## Does Mastercard have too much debt? For a bank, borrowing is the raw material of the business, not a warning sign: it borrows money in order to lend it out. Its safety is read through its returns and its loans. Its safety is read from the bad-loan figures and the return on equity instead. For a manufacturer, debt is a claim on its profits. For a lender it is the stock it trades in, so the usual debt-to-equity test would mislead and is not used here. ## What is the Mastercard shareholding pattern? 0.8% of Mastercard Incorporated's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so very few traders are betting against this stock. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.3 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is Mastercard from balance-sheet trouble? For Mastercard Incorporated, the Z-score is not used, because it was built for manufacturers, not lenders. For a lender, safety is read from its capital and bad-loan figures instead. ## How does Mastercard rank in its industry? 68.9 out of 100, rank 3 of 29 in Credit Services, with 80% of the evidence available. Mastercard Incorporated scores 68.9 out of 100 against the 29 companies it is compared with in Credit Services, ranking 3. Earnings, capital efficiency and relative strength all agree. The open questions are about management, upcoming events and risks. The four parts add up to the total exactly: 24.6 + 20.6 + 5.3 + 18.4 = 68.9. This is the same number shown on the industry page; it is worked out once for the whole group and read here. What would change it: The score would fall if ROA turns down or gross NPA rises while the share price lags its sector. ## Which companies is Mastercard compared with?

Missing figures are not scored as bad. They lower the confidence and pull the final score toward the middle. Relative strength counts only when the company has a reading for this week; with no reading, that factor is left out and its 20 points are shared across the other three in proportion. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded. Under relative strength, one mark per week shows the last 12 weeks: a mark is filled where the company led S&P 500 by 5% or more over the 13 weeks ending that week, which is the same test used everywhere on this site. Price stage places the company on the same six-step path the industry is placed on (basing, turning, breaking out, leader, fading, asleep), read from how many weeks running it has led S&P 500 and whether that lead is growing or shrinking. It describes where the share price stands, not the direction of earnings, and it is not a recommendation; it is left blank for a company whose weekly history is too short or too stale to read. The figures in this ranking come from the industry comparison: results through the Sep 2026 quarter, and the P/E at that quarter's end. The sections above use the latest weekly price, so a P/E or return there can differ a little from the one here. The stage words in this ranking (such as losing its lead or breaking out) describe the lead over the index, not the price phase in the price section.
