17 Nov
Summary
- Tigress Financial lifts Mastercard's price target to $730 from $685
- Mastercard posts strong Q3 2025 results with 17% YoY revenue growth
- Benefiting from accelerating digital payment adoption and healthy consumer spending
On November 17, 2025, Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) was highlighted as one of the best fundamentally strong stocks to buy. Tigress Financial, an investment research firm, has lifted the price target on Mastercard's stock to $730 from $685, while maintaining a "Strong Buy" rating.
According to the analyst, Mastercard's strong performance in the third quarter of 2025 has been a key factor behind this positive outlook. The company's net revenue grew by 17% year-over-year (YoY) or 15% on a currency-neutral basis, reaching $8.6 billion. This growth was driven by strong consumer and business spending, as well as the continued healthy performance of Mastercard's differentiated services.
Mastercard's adjusted net income and diluted earnings per share (EPS) also saw growth of 8% and 11% on a currency-neutral and YoY basis, respectively. This was primarily due to healthy operating income growth.
The analyst at Tigress Financial believes that Mastercard has been benefiting from the secular transition from cash to electronic and digital payments. The company highlighted that its net revenue growth includes a 1 percentage point increase from acquisitions, with the remaining increase attributed to organic growth in its payment network and value-added services and solutions.
Looking ahead, Mastercard expects its YoY net revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2025 to be at the high-end of a low double-digits range on a currency-neutral basis, excluding acquisitions.
