The longer record shows steady growth. Annual EPS rose from $10.65 in 2022 to $12.26 in 2023, $14.61 in 2024 and $17.02 in 2025, about 17% a year.

Its largest beat came in Q1 2022, at 26.75%, and its smallest in Q3 2025, at 1.47%.
Mastercard has reported its third quarter between October 26 and 31 in each of the last five years, so the next report is likely in late October 2026. First-half 2026 EPS totals $9.64, 22.3% above the first half of 2025. The key questions are whether quarterly EPS stays above $5 and whether revenue growth keeps its recent pace.
