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.
| Fiscal year | EPS | Bear | Base | Bull |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FY2026 | 20.05 | 679.52 | 734.04 | 819.60 |
| FY2027 | 23.18 | 785.63 | 848.66 | 947.57 |
| FY2028 | 26.86 | 910.40 | 983.44 | 1,098.06 |
| FY2029 (extrapolated) | 31.27 | 1,059.96 | 1,145.00 | 1,278.46 |
| FY2030 (extrapolated) | 36.41 | 1,234.09 | 1,333.10 | 1,488.49 |
Each year's EPS is the analysts' consensus to FY2028; the years after continue its 16.4% a year. Bear, base and bull apply the lowest, average and highest P/E of the last five fiscal year ends (33.9, 36.6, 40.9).
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.
Fair value is the usual (median) P/E of the last five years times the earnings per share of the last twelve months; the ends of the bar are the same earnings at its lowest and highest P/E of those years (27.3 and 42.8). The price against its P/E range
