Mastercard stock dividends

Mastercard dividend payout ratio: 18.91% of net profits

Recently Mastercard has paid out, on average, around 18.91% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.56% of the current stock value.

This means that, over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Mastercard shareholders could enjoy a 0.56% return on their shares in the form of dividend payments. In Mastercard's case, that would currently equate to about $3.04 per share.

While Mastercard's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Mastercard is investing more in its future growth.

Mastercard's most recent dividend payout was on November 7, 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by October 9, 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Mastercard stock performance metrics

Here are some common key metrics for Mastercard stock that analysts often use to help gauge a stock's value—P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

• Mastercard's P/E ratio

  Mastercard's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over the past 12 months gives a trailing price/earnings (P/E) ratio of roughly 34x. In other words, Mastercard shares trade at around 34 times recent earnings.

  That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the stock or simply that they're over-valued.

• Mastercard's PEG ratio

  Mastercard's price/earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio is calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its earnings growth, which comes out to about 1.744. A lower ratio can suggest a stock offers better value, while a higher ratio may suggest worse value.

  The PEG ratio provides a broader view than the P/E ratio alone, as it factors in Mastercard's expected earnings growth. By accounting for growth, investors can use the PEG ratio to compare the valuations of multiple high-growth companies.

• Mastercard's EBITDA

  Mastercard's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is $19.6 billion. EBITDA is a measure of a company's overall financial performance and is often used as a proxy for a company's profitability.

Has Mastercard stock ever split?

Mastercard's stocks were split on a 10:1 basis on January 21, 2014. So, if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Mastercard stocks, just the quantity.

However, indirectly, the new 90% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Mastercard stocks, which in turn could have impacted Mastercard's stock price.

How volatile is Mastercard stock?

Over the last 12 months, Mastercard's stocks price has ranged from $463.61 to as high as $600.98. Mastercard's beta measurement of stock volatility is 0.87. For comparison, the market () average beta is 1. This would suggest that Mastercard's stocks are less volatile than average (on this exchange).

Some analysists use "beta" to gauge a stock's volatility. Beta is a popular way to measure a stocks volatility in relation to the market. Here is a breakdown of Mastercard's beta stock volatility rating.
