What Has Driven Master Card’s EPS Growth In The Last Four Years?
Over the last four years, Master Card has grown its top line at a rate of 7% annually. This growth has come at the expense of a decline in the operating and pre-tax margins. However, owing to reduction in tax payments over the period, the company’s profit margin has increased by 210 basis points or 2.1 percentage points. This has led its EPS over the period to grow by 38% over the period. Additionally, buying back nearly 10% of its outstanding share count over the period has helped boost EPS growth by 14.6 percentage points to a cumulative EPS growth of 52.6% over the period.
