Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) is one of the 11 best performing Warren Buffett stocks in 2025. On June 3, the company’s stock received an “Outperform” rating from Bernstein SocGen, which was maintained from the previous decision. Bernstein also kept its price target of $607.00.

Bernstein’s analysts believe that Mastercard can achieve sustained long-term revenue growth. This growth, the analysts say, will be driven by three key factors: Mastercard’s international market presence; strategic partnerships, particularly the expansion of digital wallet partnerships with AliPay in Hong Kong and GCash; and significant investments in technology. Other contributors to the company’s sustained growth include partnerships with OpenAI and investments in Stablecoins.

The analysts also noted that Mastercard’s Q1 2025 earnings report is a source of optimism. Mastercard’s earnings per share (EPS) of $3.73 during the quarter exceeded Wall Street expectations ($3.57). Revenue came in at $7.3 billion against the anticipated $7.13 billion.
