UBS reiterates Buy rating on Mastercard stock, maintains $670 price target

Investing.com - UBS has reiterated its Buy rating on Mastercard (NYSE:MA) stock, maintaining a price target of $670.00 following the company’s virtual information session on agentic commerce and stablecoins. The financial services giant, currently trading at $553.02 with a market capitalization of $502 billion, has demonstrated strong momentum with a 25% return over the past year.

The information session was led by Jorn Lambert, Chief Product Officer, and Raj Seshadri, Chief Commercial Payments Officer, who discussed Mastercard’s recent developments in these emerging areas.

Mastercard highlighted opportunities to play a key, trusted role in the next generation of shopping and commerce through the launch of Mastercard Agent Pay, its entry into agentic commerce.

Regarding stablecoins, Mastercard identified three specific areas of opportunity: on-ramp and off-ramp services for purchasing and spending stablecoins via card networks; partnering with financial institutions to offer consumer choice and embed stablecoins into payments; and applications for certain cross-border and B2B payment use cases.

UBS’s maintained Buy rating suggests continued confidence in Mastercard’s strategic direction as the company expands into these new payment technologies and digital currency initiatives. With analyst targets ranging from $500 to $690 and a strong consensus recommendation, Mastercard shows promising potential.
