About Mastercard

Mastercard is a global payments technology company operating in more than 220 countries and territories. It earns revenue from two sources. Its payment network revenue comes from assessments tied to gross dollar volume, cross-border volume and switched transactions on Mastercard-branded credit, charge, debit and prepaid programs, net of rebates and incentives paid to customers. Its value-added services and solutions revenue comes from offerings such as security, data and other services sold to issuers, acquirers, merchants and governments. Its customers had issued 3.8 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards as of September 30, 2026. The network also carries Cirrus-branded ATM transactions and supports real-time account-based payments. The company is expanding into agentic commerce and, through BVNK, a Global Money Platform for paying, managing and exchanging across currencies. It also continues to make acquisitions to broaden its services portfolio. Updated

EPS

est $5.15+3.1%
Revenue
$9.81B

Value-added services revenue grew 19%, outpacing the core payment network and absorbing an 18% jump in customer rebates and incentives. That mix shift is what kept Mastercard above consensus on both lines for a sixth straight quarter.

Quarterly EPS — reported vs estimate

Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer 10/15/26

  • Diversification pitch: Korean memory selling in SK Hynix and Samsung is bleeding into US data center names
  • Schwab called a buy near $94, under 15x this year's earnings, after AI displacement fears knocked it from $114
  • Chevron preferred over Exxon on a swap; Home Depot held as the most rate-levered name he knows
  • Trim half of Oracle after the run; Microsoft left alone into earnings on Azure strength

Cramer is pulling money toward consumer staples, retailers and oils while the data center complex cracks, and he is framing Schwab's selloff on AI-agent worries as a repeat of the 2023 banking scare that proved a buying opportunity. For anyone concentrated in AI hardware, the Oracle half-sell is the clearest sell discipline he offered all episode.
