Current trend
Shares of MasterCard Inc., one of the largest American multinational companies providing payment services, are moving within an upward trend at 296.66.
The corporation is moving towards abandoning the manual entry of bank card data when paying for orders and is actively upgrading the tokenization system, which combines face and fingerprint scanning methods. Testing of the technology has already led to an increase in the number of approved transactions by 3.0–6.0%, generating up to 2.0B dollars in additional revenue each month as buyers are less likely to leave their baskets unpurchased. The full transition to tokenization when paying for online orders is planned to be completed by 2030.
TD Cowen analysts maintained a positive outlook for the issuer’s shares at the buy level, increasing the target price from 533.00 to 567.00, after the recent investor day, at which management presented a long-term growth program based on a constant average year’s growth of revenue and profit indicators in the range of 1.0–3.0%.
The board of directors has not yet approved new dividends for next year, which should be indexed and could amount to 0.75–0.76 dollars per share. The last payment took place on November 8, when shareholders received 0.66 dollars per share, which is equivalent to a yield of 0.53% QoQ.
