Mastercard Q3 2026 Earnings: Value-Added Services Revenue Grows 19%
Mastercard reported strong third-quarter results for 2026, driven by a 19% surge in value-added services and solutions revenue. This growth significantly outpaced the 11% increase seen in its core payment network. Despite rising costs associated with bank rebates and incentives—which grew 18%—the company successfully widened its margins as total operating expenses rose at a slower rate (11%) than overall revenue. Net revenue reached approximately $9.8 billion, representing a 14% year-over-year increase. While gross dollar volume rose by 7%, network revenue growth was bolstered by higher transaction volumes and cross-border activity, which grew 11% excluding currency fluctuations. Investors reacted positively to the earnings report, with shares rising approximately 4% during midday trading.
