Mastercard stock (ISIN US57636Q1040) was last at USD 567.65 on the NYSE on September 25, 2026, up 0.28 percent from the prior close. The stronger business signal came from second-quarter revenue of USD 9.28 billion, which rose 14.1 percent year over year.
SoFi and Mastercard announced on September 22, 2026, that stablecoin settlement had gone live across SoFi Bank's debit and credit card program. The program is migrating USD 25 billion in annualized card volume to settlement through SoFiUSD.
Q2 growth clears expectations
According to MarketBeat on September 22, 2026, Mastercard delivered quarterly adjusted EPS of USD 5.04 against a USD 4.77 consensus estimate. GAAP diluted EPS was USD 4.97, while net income reached USD 4.39 billion in Q2 2026.
The earnings comparison is material because the same report puts prior-year quarterly EPS at USD 4.15 and revenue at USD 9.08 billion for the analyst estimate. Mastercard therefore combined a USD 0.27 adjusted EPS beat with a USD 0.20 billion revenue beat, giving the stock a fundamental anchor beyond payment-sector sentiment.
Analyst targets stay above USD 666
MarketBeat said 31 brokerages carried a consensus Buy rating on September 22, 2026, with an average 12-month target of USD 666.64. That target stands 17.4 percent above the USD 567.65 last price, calculated from the same NYSE reference value.
Yahoo Finance reported on September 2, 2026, that Rothschild and Co Redburn cut its Mastercard target from USD 710 to USD 688 while keeping a Buy rating. The revision leaves the target above the broader consensus but signals a more selective valuation view.
Stablecoins add a new payment rail
Mastercard's stablecoin move links its established card network with blockchain settlement rather than replacing the network itself. The commercial test is therefore measured by transaction volume and merchant adoption, while regulatory, security and interoperability risks remain central to execution.
Mastercard's September 25, 2026, market snapshot showed a 52-week range of USD 464.52 to USD 601.23, market capitalization of USD 497.8 billion and volume of 2,336,884 shares. The price sat USD 33.58 below the yearly high, leaving operating growth and the stablecoin rollout as the clearest company-specific metrics for the next valuation step.
