Tigress Financial Maintains Strong Buy on Mastercard, Raises Price Target to $685

One of the most active members of buying and selling stocks in recent years has been U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.), who recently disclosed dozens of new transactions as reported by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent021225">Benzinga's Government Trades page.</a>
What Happened: The<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/congress-trading"> trading activity of members </a>of Congress has come under pressure in recent years with retail investors and politicians actively monitoring the activity to see if there are conflicts of interest.
Gottheimer recently disclosed a long list of purchases and sales of stocks, all with a $1,000 to $15,000 value. View the full list of trades at<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/gov-trades/?utm_source=BZprocontent021225"> Benzinga's Government Trades page.</a>
Here are some of the trades that stand out in the list of transactions, with the stock purchases and buys all made from Jan. 8 through Jan. 31.
<ul>
<li>Sold NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>): The transaction log shows four separate sales of Nvidia stock meaning a total of $3,000 to $45,000 in NVDA shares sold. The move comes with Nvidia stock one of the top performers of the last year.</li>
<li>Bought Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>): Gottheimer bought Tesla stock in three separate transactions, totaling a range of $3,000 to $45,000.</li>
<li>Bought Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>): Bought Visa stock five transactions, meaning a total of $5,000 to $75,000 in stock.</li>
<li>Bought and Sold Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>): In the transaction report, Gottheimer disclosed two purchases of Mastercard and one sale.</li>
<li>Sold Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>): Gottheimer also sold Microsoft stock in the reporting period with three separate transactions.</li>
<li>Bought Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>): The Congressman bought Johnson &amp; Johnson shares with three transactions totaling $3,000 to $45,000</li>
</ul>
Many of the buys and sells cover the technology sector with some buying of blue-chip names like Johnson &amp; Johnson, Coca-Cola and Berkshire Hathaway.

Why It's Important: Gottheimer has made thousands of stock buys and sells in recent years and is one of the most active members of Congress when it comes to his trading activity.
While recent sells could be profit taking or for tax purposes, the timing of selling semiconductor stocks like Nvidia, Taiwan Semiconductor and Broadcom could be questionable given the potential battle with China on export restrictions and new tariffs.
Gottheimer ditched Nvidia and Microsoft stock and chose a different Magnificent 7 stock instead in Tesla. The move will likely be closely followed given Tesla CEO Elon Musk's close working relationship with President Donald Trump, which could lead to favorable contracts and regulation for Tesla.
Gottheimer serves on the Committee on Financial Services, which could make the timing of the purchases of Visa and Mastercard stock questionable also.
In 2023, Gottheimer had the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/01/36459015/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2023-spoiler-nancy-pelosi-is-back-on-the-list">three best trades </a>as tracked by Unusual Whales with two sales of Meta Platforms profiting over 100% each and a third trade of Monster Beverage also profiting over 100%. Gottheimer also had the best tracked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/01/30260466/10-best-stock-traders-in-congress-in-2022-spoiler-nancy-pelosi-isnt-no-1">trade in 2022</a>, with Amgen acquiring ChemoCentryx making a 140% return for the Congressman.

<h2>Analyst Ratings: Simplified</h2>
Analysts are specialists within banking and financial systems that typically report for specific stocks or within defined sectors. These people research company financial statements, sit in conference calls and meetings, and speak with relevant insiders to determine what are known as analyst ratings for stocks. Typically, analysts will rate each stock once a quarter. 
Analysts may enhance their evaluations by incorporating forecasts for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, delivering additional guidance to investors. It is vital to acknowledge that, although experts in stocks and sectors, analysts are human and express their opinions when providing insights.

Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Goldman Sachs: Mastercard reported its fourth-quarter total net revenues at around $7.489 billion. The payments company beat the consensus of $7.389 billion, up 16% year-on-year in constant currency terms. Payment Network outperformed expectations, while Value-added Services and Solutions underperformed, Nance said.
While us volume trends were largely above expectations, international volumes were mixed, the analyst stated. "Shares outperformed, which we would attribute to the stronger than expected underlying revenue guide," he further wrote.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: Mastercard reported adjusted earnings of $3.82 per share, topping Street expectations of $3.70 per share, Markgraff said. Payment Network generated revenues of $4.41 billion. That&#8217;s higher than consensus of $4.28 billion. Value-Added Services and Solutions recorded revenues of $3.08 billion, missing expectations of $3.11 billion.
"Management noted that macro conditions continue to improve, underpinned by healthy consumer spending with strong labor market conditions and moderated inflation, while remaining positive on the prospect of expected global economic expansion in 2025," the analyst wrote. Mastercard's revenues and earnings in 2025 is likely to be impacted by "substantial FX and M&amp;A-related headwinds," he further stated.
RBC Capital Markets: Mastercard's full-year net revenue guidance calls for low double-digit growth on a reported basis, versus Street expectations of 12.1%, Perlin said. "FX is expected to be a ~2% revenue headwind in the year," he added.
Trends remained strong in January, with 13% year-on-year switched volume growth and 18% year-on-year cross-border volume growth, the analyst stated. "The consumer remains healthy and incremental growth opportunities from value-added services and new payment flows stand to act as a shock-absorber to the extent the economic backdrop were to weaken," he further wrote.
Keefe, Bruyette &amp; Woods: Mastercard's US gross dollar volume (GDV) accelerated to 9% year-on-year, from the previous quarter's 7%, "driven by resilient US consumer spending as well as strength in commercial spending," Sakhrani said. Market share gains were not the main growth driver, "strategic initiatives and new partnerships played a crucial role," he added.
Spending trends are "showing signs of improvement driven by consumer strength as well as some benefit from a pickup in crypto transactions," the analyst stated. The company's fundamentals remain "solid," and "a continuation of the accelerated spending trajectory should bode well for upside potential as we move through the year," he further wrote.
Raymond James: Mastercard's quarter to date performance has been "better than feared," Davis said. US switched volume growth accelerated to 10%, given solid holiday spending trends, he added.
"Although total cross-border volume decelerated 200 bp to +18% vs. 4Q, this is related to robust December volumes (+23%) and high-teens growth is consistent with Oct/Nov trends," the analyst wrote. The company's execution was "superb," although there is downside to consensus estimates on FX and deal-related opex, he further stated.
Price Action: Shares of Mastercard had declined by 0.58% to $562.62 at the time of publication on Friday.
