Mastercard’s stock (NYSE: MA) has lost 7.2% in the last week, underperforming the S&P 500 (down 6.1%). Further, the same trend was observed over the last ten days (-13% vs -11%) and one-month period (-7.5% vs -6.6%). Notably, the record-high inflation, the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and aggressive interest rate hikes by the Fed have amplified the possibility of the economy sliding into recession, leading to the recent stock market correction.

The company, a leading global payments solutions provider, surpassed the consensus estimates in the first quarter of 2022. Its net revenues increased 24% y-o-y to $5.2 billion, primarily driven by a 17% growth in the gross-dollar volume, followed by a 53% rise in the cross-border volume, and a 22% increase in the number of switched transactions. Further, the operating expenses as a % of revenues saw a favorable decrease. This coupled with the growth in the top line translated into a 44% increase in the net income to $2.6 billion. That said, the firm is heavily dependent on consumer spending levels. The record-high consumer inflation and the Federal Reserve’s tough stance on interest rates are likely to hurt consumer spending levels.
