Q2 revenue rose 14.1 percent

Mastercard's most recent reported quarter delivered USD 9.3 billion in revenue, up 14.1 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, according to GreekSoup in its Q2 FY2026 results summary.

Analyst target stays above market price

MarketBeat reported a consensus Buy rating based on five Strong Buy ratings, 25 Buy ratings and one Sell rating. The published average price target was USD 666.64, which lies 18.6 percent above Mastercard's USD 561.87 price on October 5, 2026, according to MarketBeat.

The comparison matters because the stock was trading USD 39.36 below its 52-week high on October 5, 2026. At the same time, the latest quarter's 14.1 percent revenue growth gives the valuation case an operating benchmark rather than relying only on the target price.

Mastercard's next earnings date is listed as October 22, 2026, on the NYSE quote page published by Investing.com. That report will give investors a fresh test of whether double-digit revenue growth continued beyond the quarter ended June 30, 2026.
