Tien Tsin Huang’s rating is based on a thorough analysis of Mastercard’s current market position and future prospects. The analyst notes that Mastercard is expected to benefit from positive trends in global and cross-border volumes, similar to those observed with Visa. Despite facing some challenging comparisons in the latter half of the year, Mastercard’s historical performance in organic revenue growth has been strong, often outpacing Visa.
However, Huang acknowledges potential risks such as pricing pressures and the impact of portfolio changes, including the Citizens debit portfolio and Capital One’s transition. Nonetheless, the overall stable to improving volume trends and Mastercard’s resilience in maintaining a high correlation with Visa’s growth metrics contribute to the Buy rating. The expectation is that Mastercard will continue to perform well, supported by its strategic initiatives and market dynamics.
