Earnings
Mastercard delivered strong second-quarter 2026 results, with net revenue up 12% year over year on a non-GAAP, currency-neutral basis and adjusted net income increasing 16%. Earnings per share rose 19% to $5.04, including a $0.14 contribution from share repurchases, while the company repurchased $4.9 billion worth of stock during the quarter and an additional $700 million through July 27. Value-Added Services and Solutions net revenue grew 18%, driven by demand for security solutions and digital authentication, and worldwide gross dollar volume increased 8% on a local-currency basis. Cross-border volume rose 12% globally, and switched transactions grew 9%. The company raised its full-year net revenue growth outlook to the high end of the low-double-digits range, citing resilient consumer spending and strategic wins such as an exclusive partnership with Alipay+ in Mexico and a domestic switching technology project in the UAE.
