Stake 93,692 reported shares ≈ 0.0% of shares outstanding — no 13G on file, so an estimate 4/35
Founder Not assessed — whether they founded the company has not been researched Not assessed

Track record Not assessed — their prior companies have not been researched Not assessed
Direction Sold 48,628 shares ($27.9M) — more than a tenth of the stake — in the last year -10/15
Discipline No late Form 4s in 51 filings 10/10

Nobody has researched this person's career yet, so founder and track record are left out of the score and of the total above.

Score = stake band (35) + founder (15) + tenure (10) + track record (15) + 12-month direction (−10…15) + filing discipline (10). An axis we have not researched is left out of the score and of the total it is shown over. Every input links to a filing or to our own research; the bands are ours.

Reported is every lot on the person's own Forms 3, 4 and 5 — direct and through trusts. Beneficial is the figure stated on the latest Schedule 13D/G cover page, which can exclude shares the person disclaims and include options exercisable within 60 days, so the two are never added together.

On the record with shareholders

Earnings calls

  1. Q2 2026 Jul 30, 2026 Miebach's argument was that Mastercard's growth is no longer mostly a bet on the card. He led with net revenue up 12% currency-neutral and value-added services up 18%, then spent most of his prepared remarks on the parts that are not interchange: security, where Mastercard Threat Intelligence found more than 7 million card-testing transactions across 192 countries in three quarters and blocked an estimated $172 million of fraud; agentic and machine-to-machine payments, where he claimed Mastercard is the only network settling them today; and stablecoins, which he framed as useful in B2B and P2P but with no problem to solve at the point of sale, with the pending BVNK acquisition as the interoperability layer. He was explicit that about 60% of value-added services net revenue is network-linked, which is the argument that services compound the network rather than sit beside it. The call was also Sachin Mehra's last as CFO before Ling Hai took the seat on 3 August. Read the call · 6 quotes →
