The YouTuber is buying Mastercard (MA) because it is trading at its lowest price multiples since 2016, despite continued business growth. He addresses concerns about national payment rails (like Pix and UPI) by arguing that credit cards remain essential for international transactions, building credit, and accessing benefits like rewards. He also emphasizes Mastercard's successful pivot to value-added services, which now constitute over 40% of revenue and are growing faster than the core payment network, diversifying its business model.
“Mastercard stock continues to sell off down to its lowest price multiples since 2016. So, Mastercard is now trading for a lower multiple than it was during the COVID crash, during the 2022 sell-off, and literally for a decade low price ratio.” — ▶ 29:50
