Mastercard historically has outperformed Visa in terms of growth. Its smaller size and some leveling in market share between the two could maintain this trend.
There is still plenty of runway for growth in electronic payments. Electronic payments only surpassed cash payments on a global basis a couple of years ago.
Management is appropriately focused on long-term growth opportunities and not near-term margins.
