MA Mastercard Inc Insider Trading

Ling Hai sold 8,971 shares of Mastercard for $4.5M across 23 transactions on 2026-02-23 to 2026-02-24, reducing stake by 25.9% to 25.7K shares.

Ling Hai, President of AP, Europe, and MEA, executed 23 separate sales totaling 8,971 shares for $4,478,314.52 over two days at a blended average price of $499.20, liquidating 25.9% of his pre-transaction holdings. The multi-tranche structure and volume (9.0K shares) constitute a material reduction in his position at Mastercard. Comparing to his same-ticker history, 2 of 5 prior sells at MA were well-timed at the 90-day mark, and his most recent sell in August 2025 showed a -12.0% 90-day return; this February sale occurs as the stock trades 15.0% below its 52-week high and 3.4% lower than 30 days ago. The timing and scale warrant monitoring for potential forward signal regarding the executive's conviction in near-term stock performance.

MA CFO Sachin J. Mehra sells 17,263 shares for $10,202,458.36 in 9 separate transactions on 2025-09-02

Sachin J. Mehra, CFO of Mastercard, executed 9 separate sales totaling 17,263 shares for $10,202,458.36 with a blended average price of $591.00, reducing his holdings by 35.6% from 48,496 to 31,233 shares. The timing is notable given that MA trades at $593.28, near its 52-week high of $598.96, and has posted positive 30-day (+4.1%) and 90-day (+1.3%) returns. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells averaging a poorly-timed 5.9% 90-day return, with only a 33.33% well-timed rate, though same-ticker prior activity from 2025-08-19 is still too recent to measure. Against Mastercard's strong fundamentals (P/E 5.35, $8.1B revenue with 12.2% annual growth, $3.7B net income), this large discretionary sale of nearly one-third of holdings warrants monitoring to understand whether execution timing or portfolio management drove the decision.

Mastercard President (AP, Europe, MEA) sold 4,485 shares at $600.00 on 2025-08-22; retains 25,845 shares post-sale

Ling Hai sold 4,485 shares for $2,691,000.00 while MA stock is trading at $593.21, near its 52-week high of $598.96. His prior sales at MA have shown mixed timing: 2 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent August 2024 sales followed by gains of 5.0% and 3.8% over 30 days, respectively. The company shows strong fundamentals with revenue of $8,133,000,000.00 in the latest quarter, net income of $3,701,000,000.00, and annual revenue growth of 12.2%, alongside a valuation of P/E 5.35. The sale represents a 14.8% reduction in his holdings but leaves him with material residual ownership at 25,845 shares, suggesting continued alignment with the company despite the disposition.

CFO Sachin Mehra sold 17.8K shares of MA across 7 transactions for $10.5M on 2025-08-19.

Sachin J. Mehra, Mastercard's Chief Financial Officer, executed 7 separate sales totaling 17.8K shares for $10.5M at prices ranging from $584.93 to $590.53, reducing his holdings from 49.0K to 31.2K shares (-36.3%). The sales occurred near the current price level of $592.68, which matches the 52-week high, suggesting execution at full valuation. Mehra's cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day well-timed rate of 63.64% across 18 prior sales, yet his prior MA trades (5 sells on 2025-08-05) have outcomes not yet measurable. The transaction size and concentration warrant tracking against near-term price performance and any follow-up commentary from management, though the timing coincides with strong recent momentum (+6.9% over 30 days).

Mastercard CFO Sachin Mehra sold 6,758 shares for $3.8M across 7 transactions on 2025-08-05.

Sachin J. Mehra, Chief Financial Officer of Mastercard, executed 7 separate sales totaling 6,758 shares for $3,828,164.38 on 2025-08-05, with a blended average price of $566.46. The sale reduced his holdings from 37,991 shares to 31,233 shares, a decline of -17.8% vs pre-transaction holdings. His prior MA-specific trade history shows mixed outcomes: 4 of 5 prior sells at Mastercard resulted in positive 90-day returns, suggesting his prior sales preceded stock appreciation rather than declines; only 1 of 5 prior MA sales was well-timed (stock fell after the sale). Against a cross-ticker track record showing a 63.64% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of +0.6%, this Mastercard-specific pattern suggests his timing at this ticker has lagged his cross-ticker performance. The stock is trading near a 52-week high and the 30-day return of +0.7% indicates continued modest strength.

Mastercard President Americas Kirkpatrick sold 958 shares at $560.00 on 2025-06-30; 3.9% position reduction.

Kirkpatrick Linda Pistecchia (President, Americas) sold 958 shares at $560.00, reducing her holdings from 24,582 to 23,624 shares (-3.9%). This marks her third open-market sell transaction in her track record and her second sale within 7 trading days (prior sales on 2025-06-24 and 2025-06-13). The transaction occurred at a price approximately $1.94 below the current market price of $561.94 and near the midpoint of the 52-week range of $429.60–$590.74. Mastercard's fundamentals remain strong with Q3 revenue of $7.2B, net income of $3.3B, annual growth of +12.2%, and a compressed P/E of 5.24. The sale represents a modest portfolio adjustment rather than a material liquidation, and no prior timing pattern data is available to contextualize whether this represents opportunistic selling or routine rebalancing.

Mastercard President Linda Pistecchia sold 958 shares at $560.00 on 2025-06-24; retains 24,582 shares post-transaction.

Linda Pistecchia, President of Americas at Mastercard, executed a single open-market sale of 958 shares ($536,480.00 total) at $560.00 per share, reducing her holding by 3.8% to 24,582 shares. The sale occurred when MA was trading near the top of its 52-week range ($429.60–$590.74), only 7.6% below the 52-week high. Her cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior sell, though timing outcomes are not yet measurable; same-ticker history at MA includes a sale 11 days earlier (2025-06-13) whose 90-day impact cannot yet be assessed. The company displays strong fundamentals (revenue $7.2B, net income $3.3B, annual revenue growth +12.2%, P/E 5.09), providing no signal of operational distress that would motivate this disposition. The sale represents a routine single reduction in a large retained position and lacks sufficient historical pattern or adverse context to suggest material concern.

CSO Craig Vosburg sold 9,428 MA shares at $353.05 for $3.3M on 2025-06-20, reducing holdings 13.9%.

Craig Vosburg, Chief Services Officer at Mastercard, sold 9,428 shares (9.4K shares) at $353.05 on 2025-06-20, generating $3,328,528.06 ($3.3M) in proceeds and reducing his holdings from 67,878 to 58,450 shares, a 13.9% reduction in position size. This sale follows a rapid series of five other MA sales executed on 2025-06-12, eight days prior, though outcomes of those earlier trades remain unmeasurable. Across his cross-ticker open-market history spanning 20 prior sells, Vosburg's sales have averaged a 90-day return of +4.0%, indicating his sells historically have not preceded subsequent declines—the inverse of well-timed sell timing. At current market price of $542.35, MA trades 8.2% below its 52-week high of $590.74 and 53.5% above the transaction price of $353.05, suggesting substantial price appreciation since execution; the company shows strong fundamentals with revenue of $7,250,000,000.00 ($7.2B) and net income of $3,280,000,000.00 ($3.3B) in the latest quarter, with annual revenue growth of 12.2% and a tight P/E of 5.06.

Chief Commercial Pmts Officer Seshadri Raj sold 3,132 shares at blended avg $561.78 for $1.8M on 2025-06-13/16

Seshadri Raj executed 9 separate sales totaling 3,132 shares for $1,759,494.08, reducing his holdings by -17.3% from 18,102 to 14,970 shares. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $555.73 to $574.36, with a blended average of $561.78, near the current price of $569.45. Historically, Raj's prior 5 sales at Mastercard have not demonstrated well-timed selling: 0 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with post-sale 90-day returns averaging positive (8.1%, 8.8%, 8.7%, 8.0%, 8.2%), meaning the stock generally rose after his prior sales. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 0.00% well-timed rate and an average 90-day return of +7.5%, suggesting a consistent pattern of selling before subsequent gains. Given MA's strong fundamentals (P/E 5.31, $3.3B net income, +12.2% annual revenue growth), the absence of a strategic FLAG, and the insider's historical timing pattern, this transaction appears mechanical rather than signal-bearing.

Mastercard President Americas sells 959 shares at $572.86; retains 25.5K shares

Linda Pistecchia, President of Americas, sold 959 shares of Mastercard (MA) at $572.86 on June 13, 2025, representing a 3.6% reduction of her 26.5K-share holding. The sale occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $590.74 (only 3.7% below peak) and follows a 90-day period of positive performance (+7.3%), though the stock has declined 2.5% over the preceding 30 days. With Mastercard reporting strong fundamentals—$7.2B quarterly revenue, $3.3B net income, and 12.2% annual revenue growth—the sale represents modest portfolio activity by a senior executive who maintains substantial equity exposure through her remaining 25.5K shares. The transaction alone does not signal material concern, given the executive's continued sizable stake and the company's solid operational trajectory.
