Mastercard Q2 Preview: All Eyes On Stablecoins
MA
Published: July 24, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Mastercard is evolving into a hybrid digital-traditional finance infrastructure, with 40% of revenue from high-margin, value-added services like AI, cybersecurity, and digital identity.

Risks include regulatory scrutiny and stablecoin disruption, but Mastercard's proactive partnerships and adaptability position it to turn threats into growth opportunities.

Valuation has outpaced growth, making the risk/reward less attractive; I trimmed my position by 40% to lock in gains.
