Red in-spite of recent upgrades. Is it because of Affirm and PayPal’s buy now pay later offering ?
P
Major bargain hunting time in MA & V before Qtr earnings release!📈👍
B
Anyone have a reading on what all these new players jumping into FinTech will ultimately mean for companies like MA and V?
D
There is a direct correlation with affirm being up 20% and MasterCard, Visa, Green Dot, (traditional creditors) etc being down! People will not stop using credit cards to use solely affirm, money will return here shortly after the hype dies, this is a buying opportunity

MasterCard price target raised to $420 from $383 at Deutsche Bank Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Keane raised the firm's price target on MasterCard to $420 from $383 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. Real-time payments are "rapidly evolving" into new use cases and revenue opportunities, Keane tells investors in a research note. The analyst sees new revenue opportunities for the company.

Cramer made some comments about MA and the credit card stocks this evening. He had recommended buying MA weeks ago as a recovery play. To paraphrase he said the bank stocks having caught fire has drawn money away from MA/V as money managers who must have exposure to financials have moved to lower p/e stocks that will benefit from the rising yield curve. Stocks like PYPL have also caused some $ to come out of MA/V. FWIW.

What do we think of MA as we approach earnings?
P
MA is headed to the $375 - $400 range on strong upcoming Q4 earnings repoet! Play the rebound now!!!

"Most of the major BNPL services are primarily linked to debit cards so they are generally good for Visa (V) and Mastercard (MA), not bad," Lisa Ellis, analyst at MoffettNathanson, told Investor's Business Daily. "If BNPL really takes off in a large scale, it is primarily bad for the credit card issuers — particularly credit card issuers that appeal to lower-FICO consumers."

What's going on with MA & V, any news?

Credit Suisse raises target price to $380 from $340

The 34 analysts offering 12-month price forecasts for Mastercard Inc have a median target of 375.00, with a high estimate of 440.00 and a low estimate of 318.00. The median estimate represents a +16 % increase from today's price of 323,26

There seem to be some large sell-off in volume toward the market close. It certainly presents good buying opportunity if MA goes below $320...to add more. However, is the large volume sell-off indicative that funds are selling?
S
the COVID lock-down has pushed a lot of cash players out of the market and on recovery there will be record transaction volume from here forward. don't be confused about all the "competition" in the payments space as it's all going though Mastercard and Visa. It's basically impossible to create a new payments network. The last to do it was Discover and they planned on losing $50 million a year for a decade to make it work and it's still on the traditional network infrastructure.

What a terrible week for MA and V. Hopefully uptrend starts next week!! Two of the greatest companies of our future!!
K
Just me.I thought for sure this would be at 380
M
You should gobble up MA on sale, before it rockets up again next week
- MA’s revenues and profits will significantly beat Analyst expectations because of the strong holiday season spending, that saw above average consumer sales, and above avg travel over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Yers holiday travel!
*** That was the reason for the slew of analysts upgrades of MA to $375 - $400++ , and, for V’s upgrades to $225 - $250.🖖
*** MA and V are trading at odds with the strength of their business!
- Buy and hold through these bargain basement prices for huge gains in a matter of weeks.
