Mastercard's Q2 2026 results, reported July 30, 2026, were the strongest in the table. Earnings per share reached $5.04, beating the $4.77 estimate by 5.69%. Revenue was $9.3 billion against a $9.1 billion estimate, a 2.22% beat. Compared with Q2 2025, EPS rose 21.4% from $4.15 and revenue rose 14.8% from $8.1 billion. EPS was also up 9.6% from Q1 2026's $4.60.

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. Over the last 20 quarters, quarterly EPS more than doubled from $2.37, and revenue rose about 86% from $5.0 billion. Mastercard beat EPS estimates in all 20 quarters. 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.
