Mastercard stock price 2026–2030: scenarios

If Mastercard's earnings keep growing at the 16.4% a year analysts expect to FY2028, it would earn about 36.41 a share in FY2030. At the P/E it has traded at over the last five years (33.9 to 40.9) that is 1,234.09 to 1,488.49 a share, or 1,333.10 at its average P/E of 36.6. This is arithmetic on the analysts' estimates, not a prediction.

Is Mastercard stock undervalued or overvalued?

Mastercard's P/E of 34.1 is below the middle of its 5-year range (27.3 to 48.6, median 36.8). Analysts expect slower growth than in recent years, so the low P/E may be deserved. Buyers pay about the usual price for each point of growth: a PEG of 1.9 on expected growth against 1.8 on its median P/E and past five years' growth. At its usual P/E (36.3 × EPS of 19.15), Mastercard's fair value is 695.78; the price, 652.75, is ⁦6.2%⁩ below it. Its forward P/E, on the consensus for FY2026, is 32.6.
