Mastercard is a multinational financial corporation founded in 1966. Its main business is payment and transaction processing. The corporation's headquarters is located in Westchester, New York, USA. Mastercard includes over 22,000 financial institutions with offices in 210 countries.
The corporation's stocks have been traded on the New York Stock Exchange since 2006 under the ticker #MA.
The value of Mastercard stocks is influenced mainly by the company's success. Entering new markets increases revenue from commissions. However, Mastercard's failures could negatively affect the #MA rate. For example, due to a global disruption in the payment system in July 2018, thousands of buyers around the world could not make purchases. The company quickly fixed the problem, but the management did not name the cause of the failure. As a result, the #MA value fell sharply but later quickly recovered.
The release of products with more favorable conditions positively affects the #MA rate. For example, in 2022, Mastercard reduced the fees for accepting cards in large online stores in several countries. After that, investors began to actively buy the company's stocks. The fee cut could increase the customer base and the corporation's revenue. As a result, stock volatility has increased significantly.
Also, when trading #MA, traders need to keep an eye on the current situation in the global electronic payments industry. The launch of revolutionary technologies requires companies to implement new solutions, while dramatic changes in geopolitics can limit growth potential. For example, Mastercard may lose access to certain markets due to sanctions. Profit will be significantly reduced, which in turn will affect the value of the company's stocks.

The value of Mastercard stocks is highly dependent on the state of the electronic payments industry. The failures of competitors can also negatively affect the #MA price. For example, after Amazon stopped using Visa credit cards due to high transaction fees in November 2021, #MA stocks fell in price by almost 5%. Many shareholders decided that the online store could stop accepting Mastercard payments and hurried to get rid of the company's stocks.
Mastercard has to compete with decentralized solutions. In the money transfer segment, many blockchain projects offer more favorable conditions. For example, Ripple's transaction speed is only four seconds, and IOTA has no transfer fees at all. If Mastercard can provide users with better terms or products, the value of the company's stocks will rise.
High-profile scandals and litigation negatively impact the #MA value. In 2020, Mastercard management was accused of financial fraud as a part of the Wirecard scandal. According to law enforcement officers, the company's top managers were involved in money laundering. As a result, the #MA stock price fell even before the court verdict.
In 2022, Mastercard ceased operations in Russia. After the release of this news, the #MA value fell as investors were confident that the company's profits would fall and began to sell shares. However, in 2022 Mastercard reported a 14% increase in annual revenue. As a result, a new #MA uptrend began, and experienced traders got a solid profit.
