MasterCard (MA) PT Raised to $680 at Baird

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 06:41:10 -0400

(Updated - July 7, 2026 6:41 AM EDT)

Baird analyst David J. Koning raised the price target on MasterCard (NYSE: MA) to $680.00 (from $660.00) while maintaining a Outperform rating.

The analyst commented: "We expect Q2 revenue to beat Street by ~1.5% and EPS by ~2.5%; we like the stock, as we expect revenue growth acceleration in coming quarters on easing comps and anniversary of COF/DFS impacts. We expect ongoing strong yields and better-than-Street margins to more than offset impacts of slightly worse fx volatility and higher interest from new debt package. Comps easy in H2-26, which could drive accelerating revenue growth."
