What’s behind the Rise Expected in Mastercard’s Earnings in 1Q18?

What’s behind the Rise Expected in Mastercard’s Earnings in 1Q18?

Mastercard (MA) is expected to report EPS (earnings per share) of $1.25 in 1Q18, implying a rise year-over-year as well as sequentially. The primary driver of this increase has been MA’s adoption of digital methods of payment, which means more revenue for the giant payment service company. Mastercard’s revenue has a direct relationship with consumer spending. A rise in spending activity means a rise in its revenue.
