PEG Ratio

The PEG ratio combines a stock’s price-to-earnings multiple with its earnings growth rate—a reading of 1.57x means the stock trades at 1.57 times its projected growth, suggesting a moderate valuation relative to anticipated earnings expansion.

Among sector peers, this PEG sits above the median of 1.06x, placing MA in the 63rd percentile, indicating a higher valuation than most comparable companies. Trend data for this metric are not available: the year-over-year change is N/A, the quarter-over-quarter change is N/A, and only a single historical value of 1.57x is reported. With the PEG ratio above the sector median but lacking any trend direction, the current level implies a slightly elevated valuation risk, though no momentum can be assessed to confirm whether that risk is increasing or decreasing. This metric supports the overall NEUTRAL verdict because the PEG is not dramatically high—just above average—and the absence of trend data prevents a clear shift toward either a bullish or bearish stance.
