Mastercard Incorporated (MA) reported its latest financial results before the opening bell on Wall Street on Thursday.

The US financial services company reported revenue of $5.497 billion in Q2, beating analyst estimate of $5.267 billion.

Earnings per share reported at $2.56 per share vs. $2.36 per share expected.

”We had strong revenue and earnings growth again this quarter, as overall consumer spending remained robust and cross-border volumes grew 58% versus year ago,” Michael Miebach, CEO of Mastercard said in a press release following the results.

”Increasing inflationary pressures have yet to significantly impact overall consumer spending but we will continue to monitor this closely. We have a well-diversified business model and the demonstrated ability to deliver strong operating margins through up and down cycles,” Miebach concluded.
