Mastercard (NYSE) Q3 revenue, earnings beat Street view

Third-quarter revenues increased 15% annually to $4.5 billion and surpassed the forecast. The top-line growth was spurred by an 20% increase in switched transactions and a sharp increase in cross-border volumes.

Growth Drivers

Adding to the top-line growth, gross dollar volume rose 14% during the quarter, while purchase volume moved up 15%. The positive factors were partially offset by promotional offers such as rebates and incentives, pursuant to fresh and renewed agreements and volume growth. The company’s partners had issued 2.6 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards as of September 2019.

Stock Buyback

During the quarter, the company repurchased around 6.4 million shares for $1.8 billion and paid $335 million in dividends.

CEO Ajay Banga said, “We have recently expanded several key customer relationships, announced our Mastercard Track suite of B2B solutions and launched the faster, more secure click-to-pay online checkout experience. In addition, we are looking forward to enhancing our multi-rail reach and capabilities through the planned acquisition of Nets’ real-time payment and billing solutions.”
