Mastercard and Visa form a rare, powerful duopoly, with Mastercard excelling as a free cash flow generator led by elite management. Mastercard is not a credit card lender but a transaction processor, benefiting from global cashless trends and offering unmatched convenience for consumers and merchants. Recent earnings highlight robust growth, digital transformation, and expansion into AI and crypto payments, positioning Mastercard for future opportunities.
Mastercard continues to deliver mid-teens growth and strong margins, defying concerns about competition and market saturation.
