Mastercard reports 46% margin, Berkshire exits

Watch: Watch Mastercard's next earnings for progress integration of BVNK and any impact from Berkshire's exit on share price momentum.

Mastercard posted a 46% net income margin and revenue rose to $8.4 billion in Q1 2026. The company announced plans to acquire stablecoin provider BVNK, signaling expansion into digital assets. Meanwhile, Berkshire Hathaway sold its entire stake in Mastercard during Q1 2026, shifting capital to other sectors while keeping its $47 billion American Express position.

Mastercard's strong profitability and strategic move into stablecoins support growth, but Berkshire's exit marks a notable shift in major institutional backing, injecting short-term uncertainty.
