A deep dive into Mastercard's options trading shows that some big investors (whales) are betting that the price of the company's shares will go down. They are buying options that give them the right to sell Mastercard shares at a certain price in the future. If the share price goes down, these investors can make money. But if the share price goes up, they lose money. Some other investors are betting that the share price will go up, and they are buying different options.

In the last 3 months, some big investors have been buying more put options (options that give them the right to sell shares) than call options (options that give them the right to buy shares) for Mastercard. This suggests that they think the share price will go down. Some experts also have lower price targets for the company, meaning they think the share price will go down.

However, some other experts have higher price targets, meaning they think the share price will go up. And the company itself is doing well, with more transactions happening and earnings expected to grow. So, the future of Mastercard's share price is uncertain, and it depends on what happens in the market and with the company. Read from source...
